Regulatory Overview

Nevada legalized adult use in 2016 (Question 2), with retail sales from July 2017. The Cannabis Compliance Board regulates the industry under NRS 678C and NAC Chapter 453A. Nevada is the highest-ranked deep-ingestion candidate in this repository’s state roadmap: it publishes public per-batch numeric test results from 2020 through the previous month in monthly and full-year ZIP archives of CSVs, plus machine-readable advisory posts.

Regulator History

  • 2000: Medical marijuana program established (Question 9).
  • 2016: Question 2 legalizes adult use; retail begins July 2017.
  • 2019: Cannabis Compliance Board established (AB 533).
  • 2026: Regulatory package R152-24-RP1 adopted (June 2026); NAC Chapter 453A remains the testing/regulation framework.

Licensing Categories

Cultivation, production (manufacturing), dispensary, distribution, testing laboratory, and cannabis consumption lounge licenses under the CCB.

Testing Laboratory Framework

  • Rules: NAC Chapter 453A; 2026 regulatory package R152-24-RP1 (adopted 2026-06-18).
  • Contaminant limits: NAC 453A panels.
  • Lab registry: Testing Facility Name field in the lab data; approved labs appear in the Metrc extracts.
  • Public results: Per-sample PackageLabSampleId, PackageLabel, product category, quantity/UOM, test type, pass/fail, numeric result — 14-column schema documented in READ_ME_FIRST_LAB_DATA.xlsx.

Recalls / Advisories

CCB publishes “Public Health and Safety Bulletins” / advisories (2023–present verified) with an amended 2025 bulletin dated 2025-12-12. Posts are machine-readable via the site’s WordPress REST API.

Data-Ingestion Opportunities

  1. Lab Library monthly ZIPs → lab-results + contaminant entities against the batch/laboratory measurement model (tests/test_coa_model.py). Natural key: PackageLabSampleId.
  2. License registry snapshot (list-of-licensees / license-search) — keep owner names/addresses out of content (privacy gate).
  3. Bulletins via wp-json → advisory entities, preserving the regulator’s “bulletin” terminology (never relabel as recall).
  4. Wave-1 scope: 2026 monthly files; backfill 2020–2025 in a second pass (per docs/state-expansion-roadmap.md §5).
