What advantages does possessing a medical cannabis card in Nevada provide?

While recreational marijuana is legalized in Nevada for individuals aged 21 and over, there are distinct advantages to having a medical marijuana card.

  • Cardholders are exempt from the 10% retail excise tax and are allowed to purchase over double the quantity of flower (2.5 oz), concentrates, and edibles compared to those without a card. 
  • Cannabis cultivation is permitted for adults who are 21 years old and above. However, there are limitations on home cultivation if patients live within a 25-mile radius of an operational dispensary. Exceptions to this rule can be made for patients who are growing specific strains of cannabis not available at their local dispensary, as they are allowed to continue cultivating these strains at home.
