Nevada sets no statewide curfew; a cannabis sales facility may sell only during the designated hours of operation it gave the Board in its license application and the hours authorised by the local jurisdiction, and must post those hours where entering customers can see them.
A cannabis sales facility must refuse to sell to any person who does not produce valid identification showing they are 21 or older, and knowingly delivering cannabis to a person under 21 who does not hold a registry identification card or letter of approval strips the seller of the exemption from state prosecution.
Identification must be valid, unexpired, and carry a photograph and the date of birth, and must be one of a driver licence or instruction permit from any state or territory, a state or territory identification card, a United States military identification card, a Merchant Mariner Credential or similar Coast Guard document, a passport issued or recognised by the United States government, a permanent resident card, or a tribal identification card issued by a tribal government as defined in NRS 239C.105.
Before any sale the agent must verify the consumer's age by checking a government-issued photo identification card using an identification scanner approved by the appropriate Board agent to determine the validity of the card; a visual check alone is not enough.
Every sale must be entered into the inventory control system with the amount of cannabis or cannabis product sold, the date and time of the sale, the cannabis establishment agent registration card number of the agent who made the sale, and the establishment's license number.
Block a sale that would exceed 1 ounce (28.35 grams) of usable cannabis other than concentrated cannabis, or one-eighth ounce of concentrated cannabis or cannabis products containing more than 3,543 milligrams of THC, or a combination of usable and concentrated cannabis over the legal limit.
A medical cannabis dispensary may, but is not required to, track a person's purchases against the medical possession limits, and the Board is forbidden to adopt a regulation or otherwise require the dispensary to track purchases or determine whether a person has exceeded those limits.
A nonresident who is authorised to engage in the medical use of cannabis under the law of their home state is deemed to hold a valid Nevada registry identification card, and a medical dispensary may dispense to them on any document valid to prove that authorisation, including written documentation from a physician where that is sufficient at home, provided they stay inside the Nevada medical possession limits.
Only persons at least 21, or holders of a registry identification card or letter of approval, may enter a medical cannabis dispensary, and a minor may be on the premises only with a letter of approval and accompanied by a designated primary caregiver; a dual licensee may otherwise admit only persons 21 or older.
The 10 percent retail cannabis excise tax must not be charged on a sale of cannabis for the medical use of cannabis, or of a medical cannabis product, to the holder of a registry identification card or letter of approval by an adult-use retail store deemed a dual licensee; state and local sales tax still applies to that sale and it still goes on the monthly sales tax return.
A cannabis establishment shall not sell or transfer a lot of usable cannabis, concentrated cannabis or cannabis products until all required quality assurance testing has been completed, and on request must disclose to the consumer the name of the testing laboratory and the corresponding certificate of analysis.
Every establishment must use the Board's seed-to-sale tracking system through the contractor's application programming interface and must ensure cannabis and cannabis products are tagged as required, so a sale line without a tracking system package identifier cannot be completed.
A cannabis sales facility must reconcile all transactions to the seed-to-sale tracking system at the close of business each day, and may not make a delivery at all unless it can reconcile that delivery with the tracking system and all associated transaction history and order receipts.
If inventory drops for a reason that is not documented the establishment must determine where the loss occurred and take and document corrective action; suspected criminal activity by an agent must be reported to the Board and law enforcement within 24 hours, and any loss or theft of cannabis must be documented and reported to law enforcement and the Board within 24 hours of discovery.
File the cannabis excise tax return with the Department of Taxation on or before the last day of the month following each month, even with no liability; file the monthly sales and use tax return covering adult-use and cardholder sales; and file the NRS 372A.285 report of purchases, sales by product type and prices with the Board on or before the 30th of January, April, July and October, whether or not any purchases or sales occurred.
Inbound product must arrive with a seed-to-sale transportation manifest naming the originating and receiving establishments, the distributor, each product by weight and unit, the vehicle make, model, plate and Board identification card number, and the card number and signature of each agent performing or accompanying the transport; on receipt the establishment must confirm the goods against the manifest, adjust its records, and separately document any quantity difference.
A cannabis establishment may not transport cannabis to a cannabis sales facility unless it holds an adult-use distributor license, holds a medical license and is moving only medical product, is a testing laboratory moving samples, or is a dual licensee moving medical product to a medical dispensary or another dual licensee; a retail store may move product to an independent consumption lounge only if it also holds a distributor license.
A cannabis sales facility may not sell to a consumer through, or accept a sale from, a third party, intermediary business, broker or any other business that does not hold a Nevada cannabis sales facility license; a third party may deliver only if every sale is made directly from the store or the store's own website, network or app and the third party does not advertise or take the order.
A cannabis establishment shall not advertise or offer any cannabis or cannabis product as free or donated without a purchase, and may promote a product only by marketing the laboratory results on its label, with no health, healing, curing, treating or risk-reduction claims.
A cannabis establishment may not dispense or sell from a vending machine or allow one to be installed inside or outside the premises, and may offer curbside pickup only after the appropriate Board agent approves it, with every order placed in advance, no in-person or onsite ordering, consumers instructed not to leave their vehicle, and Board-approved written procedures covering security, the pickup plan, the pickup designation and transaction protection.
When sold at a cannabis sales facility, cannabis and cannabis products must be placed into or directly packaged in opaque, child-resistant packaging meeting 16 C.F.R. Part 1700 which keeps working through multiple openings before it leaves the store with the consumer, and the store must offer for sale lockable child-resistant storage containers.
With every retail sale the store must supply a written or Board-approved electronic notification carrying the eleven required warnings (keep out of reach of children, severe illness in children, child welfare and criminal exposure, the delayed-onset 10 milligram and two hour warning in capitals, intoxicating and habit forming, interaction with alcohol and other drugs, mental and physical health risks, the pregnancy and breastfeeding warning, impairment and no driving or machinery, criminal prosecution for driving after any amount, and overconsumption effects) in at least 12 point non-italic type, and must affix or supply a label carrying the cultivator name and establishment identification, batch and lot numbers, quantity sold by net weight or volume, the store name and address, the cannabinoid and terpenoid profile from the testing laboratory, the harvest date, and the four required warning lines.
A cannabis sales facility may sell only in a single package holding no more than 1 ounce of usable cannabis, 100 milligrams of THC per capsule and 800 milligrams per package, 800 milligrams in a tincture, 100 milligrams in an edible, 6 percent concentration or 800 milligrams in a topical, 100 milligrams per suppository or transdermal patch and 800 milligrams per package, and 800 milligrams for any other cannabis product.
Cannabis advertising may not be false or misleading, promote overconsumption, depict actual consumption, depict a person under 21 consuming or objects suggesting a child, run where 30 percent or more of the audience is reasonably expected to be under 21, sit within 1,000 feet of a school, playground, park or library, appear on public transportation or its shelters or on a cannabis establishment's own vehicle, appear at a sports or entertainment event admitting under-21s, be handed out on signs or handbills, or offer product as free or donated; every advertisement must carry "Keep out of reach of children" and "For use only by adults 21 years of age and older" plus the establishment name and its Board-assigned license or identification number.
Nevada has no tied-house rule; nothing in NRS chapters 678A to 678D or NAC chapters 678A, 678B and 678D prohibits a cultivation or production facility from paying a retail store for in-store advertising or shelf placement, and the only ownership firewall in the code runs to testing laboratories, so paid placement from a Nevada licensee needs counsel review before Bloom sells it.
Delivery to a consumer may be made only by a cannabis establishment agent holding a registration card in the cannabis sales facility category, employed by the store or by an independent contractor that has a service agreement with the store and whose name was disclosed to the Board, with the store and every delivering contractor published on the Board's website, and the Board must have confirmed the person's employment and valid card before that person accepts an order or moves any product.
Nevada imposes NO two-person requirement on retail delivery to a consumer; one carded cannabis sales facility agent may drive and complete deliveries alone, and the only two-agent rule in the Nevada cannabis code is NAC 678D.040(5), which applies to an adult-use cannabis distributor whose vehicle carries more than $75,000 of insured fair market wholesale value on a run of more than 100 miles between cannabis establishments.
A delivery vehicle must be a road-legal motor vehicle other than a two-wheeler, approved in advance by the appropriate Board agent, carrying the Board-issued vehicle identification card inside at all times, bearing no cannabis advertising, signage or markings, fitted with an audible car alarm and adequate temperature control keeping potentially hazardous products under 41 degrees Fahrenheit; product must ride in a lockbox or locked cargo area out of sight from outside in sealed unopened packages, with a trunk counting only if it cannot be reached from inside the car and opens with a different key from the ignition; nobody may be in the vehicle except a cannabis establishment agent of the delivering store or its retained independent contractor, and the agent must have a means of communicating with the store throughout.
Every delivery run needs a seed-to-sale delivery manifest carrying the date and approximate time, the store name, location, address and license number, the name, location and address of each consumer, the name and quantity by weight and unit of each item for each consumer, the vehicle make, model, plate and Board identification card number, and the name, agent card number and signature of each agent performing or accompanying the delivery; the store must enter the delivery into the tracking system before departure, may not alter that entry, must adjust its records to match before product leaves, must give the consumer a receipt from its own point of sale system, and must bring back and reconcile anything damaged, undeliverable or refused.
A cannabis sales facility may not put more than 5 ounces (141.75 grams) of cannabis, or an equivalent amount of cannabis products, into a single delivery trip across all consumers on that trip; a medical dispensary running a trip exclusively to cardholders or designated primary caregivers may carry up to 10 ounces (283.50 grams).
A cannabis sales facility may not knowingly deliver more than 1 ounce (28.35 grams) of cannabis or cannabis products to a consumer in a private residence in one calendar day.
A cannabis sales facility shall not deliver cannabis or cannabis products to a consumer at any location that has been issued a gaming license as defined in NRS 463.0159, which rules out the casino resorts and their hotel rooms.
Delivery may be conducted only during the hours the cannabis sales facility is open for business and only within the borders of Nevada, and the agent may travel only between the store and the delivery destination with no unnecessary stops beyond those disclosed in the trip plan and manifest, a fuel stop being documented and kept for Board review.
Before handing over product the agent must obtain verification of the recipient's identity and age at the point of delivery by scanning an identification document of a type listed in NAC 678B.306, must not deliver to anyone other than the consumer who placed the order, and must first confirm by telephone that the consumer placed the order and verify their identity, entering the details of that confirmation in a log kept available for inspection by law enforcement, the Board and Board agents.
Nevada publishes no statewide delivery opt-out list; local control runs through business licensing and hours, since the CCB license is conditional until the establishment complies with all applicable local ordinances and the local government issues a business license, and the lawful selling and delivery window is the one the locality authorises.
Inventory control, seed-to-sale, loss and corrective action documentation must be kept at the establishment for at least 5 years from the date on the document, copies of any documentation required by the cannabis chapters must be kept 5 years and produced to the Board on request, tax records supporting the cannabis excise return must be preserved 4 years or until any litigation is finally determined, and surveillance recordings must be stored at least 30 calendar days on site, off site or through an on-demand service.
Waste containing cannabis must be rendered unusable before it leaves the premises, by grinding and mixing it with compostable or noncompostable mixed waste until the cannabis is under 50 percent by volume unless the Board approves another method, and the establishment must give the Board notice through the seed-to-sale tracking system before rendering unusable and disposing of any cannabis; a store or distributor may instead send product back to a cultivation or production facility to be rendered unusable.
Nevada requires a written, documented and implemented policy covering the return of cannabis for a refund to the establishment it was acquired from, and forbids salvaging and returning to the marketplace any cannabis subjected to improper storage conditions, with salvage allowed only for extraction and only where laboratory tests and a premises inspection support it and a name, lot, production run and disposition record is kept.
A consumption lounge may not sell a consumer at one time more than 3.5 grams of usable cannabis, 300 milligrams of THC in inhalable extracted products, 400 milligrams in topicals, 100 milligrams in transdermal patches or other products, or 10 milligrams in an edible, capsule or tincture, with a potency caution required above 1 gram of flower, on any inhalable extract, and above 10 milligrams of THC; consumers may not leave with unconsumed cannabis and all sold unconsumed product must be destroyed.
Every sale designated as a medical sale must be verified against a valid registry identification card or letter of approval, and the establishment must maintain an electronic verification and authentication system that can report the card number, issue date and expiry date for each cardholder who bought in the preceding 60 days.
