The medical tax exemption: Under NRS 372A, Nevada imposes an excise tax at the rate of 10 percent of the sales price on cannabis sold by an adult-use retail store. The Nevada Department of Taxation states that cannabis sold to a patient cardholder is not subject to that 10% excise tax. For shoppers who buy regularly, that difference is the main financial reason some people keep a card current.
Getting a Nevada medical card: A Nevada medical marijuana card comes through the state program and starts with a licensed physician's recommendation. The state handles the application, the card itself, and renewals. Check the current requirements, documents, and fees with the Nevada program before you apply, since the rules can change.
What to bring to the counter: Anyone buying adult-use cannabis brings a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID showing their photograph and date of birth. If you hold a Nevada medical marijuana card, bring it with a matching photo ID. Whether a given store can apply the cardholder exemption at its own register is an operational question, so call (725) 565-9333 and ask before you drive over.
