Marijuana Laws in Nevada Lawyers

For adults, marijuana possession is decriminalized (meaning it is a civil citation, like a traffic ticket), so the law is considerably more lenient. Possession of any amount of marijuana is treated as a misdemeanor, and carries a $600 or $1,000 fine for the first and second offenses, respectively, but no prison sentence (though if the amount is significant, the court may prescribe drug treatment). The third offense can carry up to a year in jail, and a $2,000 fine.

All subsequent offenses are treated as felonies, and like the juvenile offenses, carry a $5,000 fine and 1 - 4 year prison sentence.
Its your first offense ....Its a civil citation....pay your fine and your done.....no worries

You may even be able to send the money in the mail without appearing in court:thumbsup: read the entire citation
