In Nevada those 21 and older are allowed to possess up to one ounce of marijuana and up to 3.5 grams of marijuana concentrates, due to an initiative approved by voters in 2016. Licensed marijuana retail outlets are authorized to sell marijuana, with cities given the option to opt out of allowing such stores. Nevada has a wholesale marijuana excise tax of 15% on both medical and recreational sales, and an additional 10% retail excise tax that applies only to recreational marijuana.
