Most FAQs about Recreational Marijuana in Nevada
Can I purchase legal marijuana in other states and bring it into Nevada?
No. It is illegal to cross Nevada state lines with marijuana from Colorado, California, etc. However, once you’ve entered Nevada police cannot make you answer where you bought the weed and have little to no basis on which to charge you, as long as you’re carrying less than the legal amount.
Q: Can I enter or exit Nevada via plane carrying marijuana?
No. Marijuana is still a federally prohibited drug.
According to Transportation Security Administration spokesman Nico Melendez, the TSA is not actively searching for marijuana among airline passengers, because it does not pose a threat to security. Melendez said, “it has no impact on our operations. If we find it, we’ll let police know. But it’s not something we’re in the business of searching for and not something we’re actively searching for.”
Can I purchase recreational marijuana at a dispensary with a credit card?
No. All transactions must be conducted in cash. Dispensaries have ATM machines on site for their customer’s convenience.
