Nevada lawmakers last week passed an omnibus marijuana reforms bill that increases the possession limit on cannabis and gives licensed dispensaries new flexibility to serve both medical marijuana patients and adult-use cannabis customers. The measure, Senate Bill 277, received final approval from the Nevada legislature on June 5 and now awaits action from Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo.
The legislation makes several substantial changes to Nevada’s laws governing marijuana, which was legalized for medical use in the state in 2001. In 2016, voters passed Question 2, a ballot measure that legalized recreational marijuana in Nevada for adults 21 and older.
Senate Bill 277 more than doubles the possession and purchase limits for marijuana, increasing the cap from one ounce of cannabis to 2.5 ounces. The legislation also doubles the limits for cannabis concentrates from one-eighth of an ounce to a quarter ounce.
