Full Breakdown
Henderson Municipal Code § 8.02.130, part of the city's crimes-against-public-peace chapter, makes it a misdemeanor to smoke or otherwise consume marijuana in a public place, in a retail marijuana store, or in a moving vehicle: fine capped at $600. 'Public place' is defined as any area the public is invited into or permitted to enter regardless of age, which reaches city parks, sidewalks, and business patios; the retail marijuana store itself is carved out of that definition since licensed consumption lounges are regulated separately. Nevada legalized recreational marijuana statewide, but Henderson keeps public and roadway use off-limits.
