Nevada Just Increased the Legal Limits for Marijuana Flower and Concentrates

As of January 1, 2024, adults age 21 and older can purchase up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana flower and/or up to one-quarter of an ounce of marijuana concentrates from licensed dispensaries in Nevada.

The amounts are an increase from last year when the marijuana possession limit was one ounce of flower and one-eight of an ounce of concentrates.

Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo signed the legislation (SB 277) into law in June. Other provisions in the law allow for licensed medical dispensaries to begin serving non-patients on January 1st.

Nevada voters approved a statewide ballot initiative in 2016 legalizing the adult-use cannabis market. Voters had previously decided in favor of an initiative legalizing the production and distribution of medical cannabis in 2000.
