Who regulates cannabis retail in Nevada?

Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board (CCB) is the state cannabis regulator for Nevada. Official site: https://ccb.nv.gov.

What seed-to-sale track-and-trace system does Nevada use?

Nevada uses METRC (Franwell) for seed-to-sale traceability — the de-facto standard across most regulated states. CannAgent maps its inventory and transfer events to METRC's required fields.

Everything below is real. You can’t buy it here yet.

The NV regulator, statutes, tax stack and track-and-trace on this page are researched and current. We can set up stores in Washington and Arizona today, and NVis not one of them — so there is nothing to sign up for here, and we won’t pretend otherwise. (Washington’s CCRS is still the only track-and-trace we have integrated; Arizona mandates none, which is why it could open without one. A state that mandates one needs that adapter built first.)

Statutes that bite

Citation	Subject
NRS 678A-678D	Nevada cannabis statutes (regulation, taxation, licensing, consumption)
NAC 678A-678D	CCB cannabis regulations — still citable as the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Regulations (NAC 678A.005), but the NUMBERED NCCR 1-15 are filed by the CCB as historical and were codified into NAC by SB 328 (2023)
NRS 372A.290	10% retail excise + 15% wholesale excise statute
NRS 678B.505	Inventory control system — must monitor the chain of custody of cannabis from acquisition to the end consumer
NAC 678D.020	Transportation manifest — duties of the originating and receiving cannabis establishment, including documenting in the seed-to-sale system any difference between the manifest quantity and the quantity actually received (recodified from NCCR 13.015)
NAC 678B.530-.575	Independent testing laboratory requirements — scientific director qualifications, laboratory handling and testing, proficiency testing, random quality-assurance checks (recodified from NCCR 11 under SB 328 (2023); the obligations remain in force)

Tax stack

Excise

15% wholesale excise — the obligation of the CULTIVATION FACILITY on the first wholesale sale to another establishment, not a register line (NRS 372A.290(1)-(2)) — plus a 10% excise on each retail sale, the obligation of the seller (NRS 372A.290(3)). The 10% applies to adult-use retail stores and consumption lounges. A medical sale to a holder of a registry ID card or letter of approval is exempt from the 10% ONLY where the seller is an adult-use store deemed a DUAL LICENSEE under NRS 678D.490 (NRS 372A.290(8)); an adult-use store that is not a dual licensee still owes the 10% on that sale. The 15% wholesale excise applies to medical cultivation too. The retail stack is the 10% plus state + local sales tax.

Sales / Use

6.85% Nevada state sales tax + 0% to 1.525% local — Clark County (Las Vegas) ~8.375% combined sales rate.

Local option

Counties may impose limited local cannabis option — most jurisdictions have not stacked. We confirm your county’s rate with you at onboarding.

Compliance topics surfaced in-platform

Age 21+ adult-use / 18+ medical ID verification with split lanes — for a patient aged 10 to under 18 the credential is a registry identification card, and for a patient under 10 it is a LETTER OF APPROVAL rather than a card; in both the custodial parent or legal guardian agrees to serve as designated primary caregiver and to control the acquisition, dosage and frequency (NRS 678C.220(3))
METRC tag handoff + manifest reconciliation per NRS 678B.505 (inventory control system) and NAC 678D.020 (transportation manifest; receiving establishment documents any quantity difference)
Patient registry lookup hook (Nevada Medical Marijuana Cardholder ID)
Daily inventory reconciliation export shaped for CCB record-keeping
Tourist-heavy single-transaction limit enforcement (2.5oz flower / 1/4oz concentrate per visit)

What CannAgent is built toward for NV

Adult-use + medical product lanes with separate tax stacks
Wholesale excise tracked at the tier that actually owes it — the 15% is the cultivator’s on the first wholesale sale, so it is upstream cost basis and never a register line. Your retail stack is 10% + 6.85% state sales + any county add-on, confirmed with you at onboarding
METRC-shaped inventory + sale receipt mirror
Daily reconciliation report (auto-runs at close)
Manager write-up assistant configurable to NV labor + CCB rule taxonomy

Coverage here — honestly

Nevada coverage is written against CCB rules: the bulletins, the wholesale-vs-retail excise stack, the tourist-density single-transaction limits, and the METRC-cadence reporting requirements. We keep it current as the CCB moves, and where something isn’t built for NV yet we say so before you sign.
