Nevada law lets adults 21 and older buy up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis flower, or up to one-quarter ounce of concentrated cannabis, in a single transaction. That same amount is the most you can legally possess at any one time. The Grove checks every order against these limits at the register in Las Vegas and Pahrump, so your purchase stays within the law before it leaves the store.

How much cannabis can you buy in Nevada?
Nevada sets one purchase limit for every adult-use customer. Since January 1, 2024, that limit is 2.5 ounces of usable cannabis or one-quarter ounce of concentrated cannabis, a figure set by Senate Bill 277. The number governs a single transaction at a licensed store, and it is also the maximum the state allows you to possess at one time.
The 2.5-ounce allowance replaced the previous one-ounce flower limit, so today you can buy more than twice as much in one visit as the old rule allowed. Usable cannabis covers flower and pre-rolls. Concentrated cannabis covers the resin extracted from the plant, including wax, shatter, rosin, and the oil inside vape cartridges.
How flower, concentrates, and infused products count toward the limit
Nevada measures your order in two buckets, and a combined order cannot exceed the ceiling in either one. Flower and pre-rolls count against the 2.5-ounce usable-cannabis allowance. Concentrates and THC-infused products, such as vape cartridges, edibles, and tinctures, count against the one-quarter-ounce concentrate allowance, which the state caps at 7,087 milligrams of THC.
| Product type | Counts as | Maximum per transaction |
|---|---|---|
| Flower and pre-rolls | Usable cannabis | 2.5 ounces (about 70.9 g) |
| Concentrates (wax, rosin, cartridges) | Concentrated cannabis | 1/4 ounce (about 7.09 g) |
| Edibles, tinctures, infused products | THC in products | 7,087 mg THC |
The Cannabis Compliance Board publishes an exchange chart that shows how a mixed basket is calculated. A cart that blends flower and concentrates is totaled against both ceilings at checkout, so a large concentrate order leaves less room in the flower bucket, and the reverse.
Who the limit applies to and what you bring
The purchase limit applies to every adult-use customer who is 21 or older. To buy at any Nevada dispensary you present a valid, government-issued photo ID that proves your age, the same document you would show to buy alcohol.
Nevada applies the same 2.5-ounce possession limit to adult-use and registered medical customers. A medical card changes who can shop, since patients aged 18 to 20 can shop with a valid card, rather than how much you can buy. For the full ID list and the medical exception, see who can shop: 21-plus, medical, and ID requirements.
How The Grove keeps every order within the limit
The Grove totals your basket against the state limit at the point of sale. A budtender adds up flower and concentrates together before checkout, so a mixed order is measured against both ceilings rather than each one on its own. The same limit applies whether you walk in, order online for pickup, or choose delivery.
Because the Las Vegas store is open 24 hours a day, a fresh transaction is available the next day if a single visit reaches the ceiling. The Grove serves two Nevada towns, Las Vegas and Pahrump, and the state limit is identical at both. As a licensed, seed-to-shelf operator, The Grove sells only what the state allows and only to customers who can verify their age.
| The limit is a ceiling, not a target. The Grove cannot sell above 2.5 ounces of flower or one-quarter ounce of concentrate in a transaction, cannot sell to anyone who cannot verify they are 21 or older, and cannot let same-day transactions add up to more than the 2.5-ounce amount you are allowed to possess. If a cart goes over, a budtender adjusts it with you before payment. |
Frequently asked questions
How much cannabis can you buy at a dispensary in Nevada?
Adults 21 and older can buy up to 2.5 ounces of flower, or up to one-quarter ounce of concentrated cannabis, in one transaction. That amount is also the most you can legally possess at a time.
Did Nevada’s purchase limit change?
Yes. Senate Bill 277 raised the limit to 2.5 ounces of usable cannabis on January 1, 2024. The previous limit was one ounce of flower.
Do edibles and vape cartridges count separately from flower?
They count against the concentrate allowance, which the state caps at 7,087 milligrams of THC, not against the 2.5-ounce flower allowance. A mixed order cannot exceed either ceiling.
Is the purchase limit different for medical patients?
No. Nevada applies the same 2.5-ounce possession limit to adult-use and medical customers. A medical card affects who can shop, not how much you can buy.
Can I buy the limit more than once in the same day?
The limit is measured per transaction, and 2.5 ounces is also your possession cap, so same-day purchases cannot add up to more than that amount at one time.
Does the purchase limit apply to delivery and pickup orders?
Yes. The same limit applies to walk-in, online pickup, and delivery orders at every licensed Nevada retailer, including both Grove stores.
