Legal Topics

There are some restrictions on cannabis users in Nevada.

Cannabis cannot be consumed in a public place, at a detention or correctional facility, or while delivering cannabis to another person. The permissible consumption limit of THC statewide is 10 nanograms per milliliter of urine and two nanograms per milliliter of blood while operating motor vehicles.

Driving under the influence of cannabis is illegal (even for medical card holders). Penalties range from a $400 fine, two days in jail, 48-96 hours of community service, a $5,000 fine, or up to six years in prison, depending on concurrent offenses.

Operating an aircraft, water ski, surfboard, windsail, or similar device while under the influence is illegal. Firearm possession while under the influence of cannabis is also prohibited.

Learn more about Nevada cannabis laws on our state law page.

Caregivers

Some patients may be eligible for an MMJ card but unable to apply for one themselves. For example, should the patient be a minor under 18, or if the patient needs assistance accessing medical cannabis, a caregiver can be assigned to complete the process on their behalf.

A caregiver can be added to your account once you have registered with the state. You must upload the caregiver’s driver’s license or state ID card as part of the application.

Caregiver Requirements:

  • Minimum age of 18 years old.
  • A person with a chronic or debilitating disease to whom a registry identification card has been issued may not be a designated primary caregiver unless they are the parent or guardian of a child who has been issued a registry identification card or letter of approval.
  • A person may have only one designated primary caregiver at any time. A designated primary caregiver may not be the primary caregiver to more than two persons.

Caregiver Registration Process:

  • When requesting their application packet, patients can also request an application for a caregiver.
  • The patient can add their caregiver to their account once they have registered.
    • Click on the check next to “I will have a caregiver,” and the upload prompts will display.
    • Follow the same process for uploading the caregiver’s driver’s license or state ID.
  • If requesting to add a caregiver after a patient has been certified, the patient will need a new attending healthcare provider statement with the caregiver’s information listed.
  • Caregivers must complete and submit their application packet.
    • A serially numbered registry identification card will be issued to the designated primary caregiver upon approval. Their card will expire at the same time as their patient’s.
  • There is no fee for the addition of a caregiver.
