Safety
Safe Shopping in Nevada
Purchase only from licensed Nevada dispensaries. All products are tested and tracked through the state's seed-to-sale system.
Never drive impaired. Nevada's DUI threshold is 2 nanograms of THC per milliliter of blood-much lower than you might expect. Cannabis impairment is difficult to gauge, and penalties are severe.
Keep cannabis in sealed container in trunk or cargo area when transporting in a vehicle.
Start low with edibles (5-10mg THC) and wait at least 90 minutes before consuming more. The dry desert climate and Vegas atmosphere can intensify effects.
Stay hydrated. Nevada's desert environment combined with cannabis can lead to dehydration.
Never attempt to take cannabis on flights or across state lines. TSA screens for prohibited items, and cannabis is federally illegal.
Store cannabis away from children and pets. Nevada requires child-resistant packaging.
Federal restrictions: Cannabis users may face issues with federal employment, security clearances, firearm purchases, and immigration regardless of state legality.
