How to check a Nevada cannabis license

Look the store up in the Cannabis Compliance Board’s (CCB) list of licensees before you buy. The store’s name and address should match, and it should show Adult Use (or Medical Only if you are a medical cardholder). If you can’t find the store, don’t buy there.

1. Search the CCB’s list of licensees

The CCB tells shoppers to use its list of active licensees to check a store. Licensed stores must also post their state license where you can see it.1

  1. Go to the CCB’s list of licensees .
  2. Find the store under Southern Nevada or Northern Nevada retail stores. Each entry shows the store name, address and license number.2
  3. Check that the name and address match the store’s sign or website.
  4. Check the market. A store that sells to adults 21 and older shows Adult Use. A store marked Medical Only sells only to medical cardholders.2
  5. Check the “current as of” date at the top of the list. The CCB home page also has a license search by business name.2

Tribal cannabis stores are not licensed by the CCB and are not on its list.2 The only legal way to buy cannabis in Nevada is from a state-licensed store.3

2. If you order delivery

  • Only licensed stores may deliver cannabis. Their delivery vehicles must pass a CCB inspection and carry a CCB inspection card.1
  • A store may use a third-party delivery service only with CCB approval.1
  • The list of licensees has a Delivery Option column. Y means the store offers delivery.2
  • Stores may not sell you more than 2.5 ounces of cannabis or 1/4 ounce of concentrate (7,087 mg of THC) at a time.1

3. Check the label and keep the package

Licensed products carry the warnings “THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS CANNABIS” and “Keep out of Reach of Children”, the lab-tested cannabinoid levels, the store’s name and address, and a batch, lot or production run number.4 Products must pass lab testing before sale. You can ask the store for the lab report, called a Certificate of Analysis.1

Labs test flower for pesticides, heavy metals, mycotoxins, and harmful bacteria and molds, among other things.5

CCB bulletins name affected products by lot or production run number and tell you to check that number on your label.6 Keep the package so you can match it. See the CCB’s public health and safety bulletins .7

Hemp, CBD and smoke shops are different

A hemp, CBD, tobacco or smoke shop is not a licensed cannabis store and can’t sell cannabis.1 Since 2025, unlicensed shops that sell intoxicating hemp products must post a sign saying they are not licensed to sell cannabis.1 Making or selling synthetic cannabinoids, like delta-8 THC made from CBD, without CCB approval has been illegal since June 2021.8

If something doesn’t look right

You can report a business or person you think is breaking Nevada’s cannabis laws, including unlicensed sellers and shops selling synthetic cannabinoids. Use the CCB’s online portal: click +New, then Complaint. You don’t need an account, and you can stay anonymous.8

The CCB says it can’t look into complaints about price or service.1
