Cannabis TV advertising in Nevada
Yes. Nevada names television and the internet in its advertising law. An ad can't run where 30% or more of the audience is reasonably expected to be under 21, every ad needs two warnings plus the business name and license number, and the licensee must keep records of how it judged the audience's age for 5 years.

What this means for a streaming TV spot
- Television and the internet are named in both the 30% rule and the definition of advertising, so streaming spots are covered.
- Put both warnings, the business name and the license number on screen, legibly.
- No consumption, no one who looks under 21, no cartoons, anthropomorphic characters or fruit.
- Keep the audience-age evidence for every buy for at least 5 years from first airing.
- Fines for advertising violations escalate within 2 years: up to $1,250, then up to $2,500, $5,000 and $10,000.
Required warnings
Required warnings (every ad)
Delivery not specified in the rule
Keep out of reach of children. For use only by adults 21 years of age and older.
Nevada's rules call for the warnings to be visible and legible. No spoken requirement was found; we put them on screen.
License disclosure
Every ad must include the establishment's name and its license number or Board-assigned identifier. A holder of more than one license may use any one of its numbers.
What you can't run
False or misleading ads, promoting overconsumption, and depicting consumption.
Depicting anyone under 21 consuming cannabis, objects that suggest a child is present, or anything designed to appeal to people under 21.
Content that appeals to children, including anthropomorphic images, cartoon characters, mascots, action figures, balloons, fruit and toys.
Ads modeled on brands aimed at children.
Offers of free or donated cannabis without a purchase.
Health claims, and promoting lab results beyond those on the label.
Advertising cannabis sales by anyone not licensed.
Targeting rules
Nevada's definition of advertising expressly includes radio, television and the internet.
No out-of-state or geotargeting rule was found. Local governments may adopt stricter ordinances on ad content, so check local rules for each market.
Medical
The same advertising law applies to medical and adult-use establishments; either license number satisfies the disclosure rule.
Hemp-derived THC
Since October 1, 2025, unlicensed sellers of consumable hemp must post that the location isn't licensed to sell cannabis, and may not advertise anything false or misleading about being licensed or claim a hemp product is cannabis or intoxicating. Licensed facilities may sell hemp and CBD products at 0.3% THC or less.
Recent and upcoming changes
AB 76 (2025) added the ban on anthropomorphic images in cannabis ads.
Proposed regulation R103-26, heard October 15, 2026, would require the warnings and the name and license number to appear in a visible and legible manner and exempt in-store ads not for distribution. The outcome of that hearing was not yet posted as of October 17, 2026.
