The state of Nevada will also approve patients who are certified by a physician to have any other debilitating condition that greatly affects their quality of life.

Along with having a qualifying condition, a patient must prove they are a resident of Nevada with a valid driver’s license or a state identification card.

First, schedule an evaluation with a licensed physician through FadeMD. Complete a 10-15 minute consultation and get approved for medical cannabis usage.

Once you have approval from a licensed healthcare provider, complete your registration with the state. You can access the state portal here: https://mmportal.nv.gov/Account/Login

This portal will allow you to access the application and upload your scanned documents, including:

• Nevada State Identification (Driver’s License or ID Card)
• Completed Medical Marijuana Card Application
• Attending Healthcare Provider Statement
• Waiver and Acknowledgement forms

The application fee for state registration is $50 annually or $100 for a two-year registration made payable to the Nevada State Health Division.

Nevada caregivers must be at least 21 years old. Additionally, they must prove their state residency by providing a driver’s license or identification card.

Medical cannabis patients can purchase and possess up to 2.5 ounces and cultivate up to 12 plants if they live 25 miles or more from a dispensary. Caregivers can purchase up to 2.5 ounces every two weeks for their patients, exceeding the one-ounce recreational limit, and some may be exempt from the 25-mile cultivation rule.

The Justice Department proposed a new rule to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule III drug, which would ease federal restrictions on cannabis if approved. This reclassification would not legalize or decriminalize marijuana nationwide but would place it on the same regulatory level as ketamine and anabolic steroids. Currently, marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug, meaning it has "no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse." The proposed change would recognize marijuana as having "a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence."

The proposal initiates a months-long comment and administrative period before any changes take effect. This follows President Biden's 2022 request for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Justice Department to review marijuana's classification. HHS found credible scientific evidence supporting marijuana's medical use. The notice of proposed rulemaking reflects the attorney general's agreement with HHS's recommendation. President Biden hailed the move as "monumental," emphasizing marijuana policy as a priority of his administration, which has also worked to pardon those convicted of simple possession.
