Legislative History
Nevada voters legalized recreational cannabis for adults 21+ in 2016 via Question 2, permitting possession of up to one ounce (28 grams), home cultivation where retail is unavailable, and licensed retail sales (which launched in 2017). Medical cannabis was legalized earlier in 2000 through a ballot measure, establishing a patient registry system.
