Nevada legalized recreational cannabis in 2016. Under NRS 453D.400, adults 21 and older may cultivate up to six plants per person (maximum 12 per household) if they live more than 25 miles from a licensed dispensary. In Las Vegas, which has numerous dispensaries, home cultivation is effectively prohibited for most residents because dispensaries are within 25 miles of virtually all city addresses.
Las Vegas allows adults 21 and over to grow a limited number of cannabis plants at home under state law. Typically 6 plants per household or fewer depending on local rules. Plants must be in a locked, enclosed area not visible from public spaces. Odor control may be required. Landlords may prohibit growing in rental properties. Local jurisdictions may impose stricter limits than state law. Growing for sale requires a commercial license.
Exceeding plant limits: warning, then fines $100 to $500. Visible grows: citation. Growing for unlicensed sale: criminal charges.
