List of Weed Shops in Reno, Nevada

Your local’s guide to Reno’s fully licensed cannabis shops, plus how Herb helps you verify what’s legit before you visit

Reno might be known as the “Biggest Little City in the World,” but its cannabis scene is surprisingly focused: the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board lists adult-use retail licenses with Reno mailing addresses, each operating under strict state regulations. Instead of a shop on every corner, you get a tight mix of multistate brands and homegrown Nevada companies covering Midtown, downtown, Northtowne, Lemmon Valley, South Reno, and Longley Lane. Herb’s Reno hub and individual dispensary pages (like Zen Leaf Reno and RISE Dispensaries Reno) make it easy to double-check license details, hours, and amenities before heading out. With Nevada law limiting legal sales to licensed dispensaries and banning anyone under 21 from buying or even entering a retail shop (except qualified medical patients), these locations are your only fully compliant options inside Reno city limits. 

Key Takeaways

  • Reno, NV has state-licensed adult-use cannabis retail establishments with Reno mailing addresses, according to the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board
  • Every shop on this list is a licensed Nevada cannabis establishment, meaning they follow state rules on testing, packaging, and ID checks for adults 21+ only
  • Herb’s Reno coverage – including Best Dispensaries in Reno and individual shop profiles – helps you compare menus, deals, and license information before you ever step inside
  • The shops are spread across Midtown, downtown, North Valleys, Northtowne, South Reno, and Longley Lane, so most neighborhoods are within a short drive of at least one licensed store
  • Public consumption in Nevada is still largely illegal, so even when you buy from these licensed shops you’re expected to keep use to private spaces or approved consumption venues

1. Zen Leaf Reno

Zen Leaf Reno sits just east of downtown at the edge of Reno’s industrial corridor, making it an easy stop before or after events, work, or travel. As part of the VERANO family, the shop leans into a calm, clinical vibe with consistent flower, pre-roll, and concentrate options that regulars trust. Inside, budtenders focus on education and matching products to mood or symptom rather than pushing whatever’s on promo, which is ideal if you’re still figuring out what works for you. Herb’s Zen Leaf page confirms its adult-use license, amenities like curbside pickup, and extended hours, so you can plan your visit around your schedule. 

The menu rotates through Verano’s own brands alongside a wide range of Nevada producers, with frequent discounts on eighths, vapes, and edibles. Daily deals and veteran discounts make it one of the better value plays in the city if you shop consistently. Because Zen Leaf is featured prominently on Herb, you can quickly check reviews, license details, and current hours without bouncing between multiple sites. First-time customers often get stackable promotions, which is handy if you’re building a starter stash. Overall, this is a strong “default” shop if you want something reliable, open late, and easy to navigate. 

What Makes Them Special:

  • Emphasis on education and one-on-one guidance for newer consumers
  • Extended hours most days, making it a go-to late-night option
  • Licensed adult-use retailer with verified details and hours on Herb
  • Regular discounts for first-time shoppers and veterans

Best For: Night owls and event-goers who want a calm, well-organized dispensary with late hours and consistent product quality.

Location & Hours:

  • Address: 1605 E 2nd St, Suite 103, Reno, NV 89502
  • Hours: Open daily 8am-12am 
  • License: Adult-use retail (21+) and medical; fully state-licensed under Nevada CCB.

2. Jade Cannabis Co. – Midtown Reno

Jade Cannabis Co.’s Midtown location at 1085 S Virginia St is a favorite in Herb’s Reno ecosystem and a natural first stop if you’re already hitting the city’s coffee shops, bars, and galleries. This shop combines long hours (open until midnight) with a large menu that includes Jade’s in-house strains plus products from roughly 50 Nevada vendors, so you can experiment across price points and formats. The interior feels like a midpoint between boutique and neighborhood shop: clean and bright, but casual enough to pop in and out quickly. Staff are used to first-timers and out-of-towners, so questions about dosing, onset times, or different product categories are normal, not annoying.

Jade’s own website highlights fast pickup, drive-through service, and strong nightly deals, which can save you a noticeable chunk if you time your trip right. Herb’s Reno guides routinely mention Jade when talking about late-night shopping, Midtown convenience, and value for heavy users. Because this shop sits close to both downtown and the airport, it’s strategically located for travelers who want a single stop. The combination of extended hours and a wide menu makes it a practical “home base” if you’ll be in town a few days.

What Makes Them Special:

  • Open until midnight seven days a week, giving you maximum flexibility 
  • Drive-through and fast in-store pickup for quick runs
  • Huge menu combining Jade’s own flower with dozens of Nevada brands
  • Featured in Herb’s Reno coverage as a reliable late-night option

Best For: Midtown explorers, late-night shoppers, and visitors coming straight from the airport who need a one-stop shop.

Location & Hours:

  • Address: 1085 S Virginia St, Suite A, Reno, NV 89502
  • Hours: Open daily 9am-12am
  • License: Adult-use retailer licensed by the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board. 

3. The Dispensary Plumb

The Dispensary’s Plumb Lane location shows up in Herb’s “Best Dispensaries in Reno” roundup and in the state’s license list, making it a core part of the city’s cannabis infrastructure. Sitting just south of Midtown, it’s easy to reach from the airport, Virginia Street, and most central hotels. Inside, you’ll find a big, menu-board-driven layout focused on efficiency: pre-orders, clearly labeled categories, and plenty of registers to keep lines moving. Regulars like the balance between value-tier flower and higher-end options, so you don’t have to choose between cheap and quality.

Because The Dispensary operates multiple Nevada locations, you get chain-level consistency but a local staff that actually remembers repeat customers. Daily specials rotate across categories, and loyalty rewards add up quickly if you live nearby. The Plumb Lane shop is also featured in Herb’s Reno content as one of the more convenient “everyday” stops in the city. If you only have time for one visit and you’re staying central, this is a safe bet.

What Makes Them Special:

  • Centrally located with easy access from the airport and Midtown
  • Big, efficient layout that handles busy times without feeling chaotic
  • Mix of budget and premium options plus rotating daily deals
  • Highlighted by Herb as a go-to all-rounder in Reno

Best For: Locals and visitors who want a straightforward, high-throughput shop with predictable pricing and selection.

Location & Hours:

  • Address: 100 W Plumb Ln, Reno, NV 89509 
  • Hours: Open daily 8am-12am 
  • License: Adult-use retail license listed as “THE DISPENSARY – 100 W Plumb Ln” by the Nevada CCB. 

4. The Dispensary – Downtown (132 E 2nd St)

If you’re staying near the Truckee River or one of downtown’s casinos, The Dispensary’s 2nd Street shop is your closest fully licensed option. Listed by the state at 132 E 2nd St, this location caters heavily to foot traffic and quick walks from hotels, bars, and the ballpark. Inside, expect a compact but efficient layout with the same product curation philosophy as the Plumb Lane store: clear strain information, value tiers, and plenty of ready-to-grab pre-rolls and vapes. It’s especially handy if you want to order online from your room and swing by for pickup between other plans. Herb’s Reno map routes you here whenever you filter for downtown-adjacent dispensaries, which helps confirm you’re hitting a licensed shop rather than a random smoke store. 

Because this spot sees a mix of tourists and locals, staff are used to answering lots of basic questions without rushing you. Daily promo boards make it easy to spot deals on eighths or cartridges if you’re on a budget. While the downtown location doesn’t have as much floor space as some suburban shops, it makes up for it in sheer convenience. For many visitors, this is the dispensary they remember as “the one by the casinos.”

What Makes Them Special:

  • Walkable from much of downtown Reno and the stadium area
  • Same menu philosophy as other The Dispensary locations with lots of daily deals
  • Strong online ordering and pickup options for hotel guests
  • Easy to find via Herb’s Reno dispensary listings and map

Best For: Travelers staying downtown who want a quick, walkable stop rather than driving across town.

Location & Hours:

  • Address: 132 E 2nd St, Reno, NV 89501 
  • Hours: Open daily 8am-11pm
  • License: Adult-use retailer listed as “THE DISPENSARY – 132 E 2nd St” by Nevada CCB. 

5. Mynt Cannabis | Reno North (Licensed as The Dispensary – 340 Lemmon Dr)

In the North Valleys, Herb still lists Mynt Cannabis | Reno North, while the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board records the underlying license as “THE DISPENSARY – 340 Lemmon Dr, Suite A.” Either way, locals know this spot as the go-to shop for Lemmon Valley and the northern suburbs. Herb’s page confirms its adult-use license, ATM access, security, and generous hours running from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. The vibe is relaxed but efficient, with clear separation between express pickup and walk-in browsing.

This is one of the better options if you live north of downtown and don’t want to drive all the way into Midtown or South Reno. The menu leans into everyday flower, pre-rolls, vapes, and edibles at a range of price points, so you can do bulk stock-ups or quick top-offs. Herb’s Mynt listing is also a good way to confirm current hours and license information without digging through multiple search results. With both adult-use and medical licensing documented on Herb, you know you’re buying from a fully regulated operator.

What Makes Them Special:

  • Serves Lemmon Valley and North Valleys with long hours
  • Adult-use and medical licenses documented on Herb’s listing 
  • Convenient if you’re coming in from north of town or commuting along US-395
  • Combines full-menu browsing with quick express pickup for online orders

Best For: North Reno residents and commuters who need a licensed, late-open shop close to home.

Location & Hours:

  • Address: 340 Lemmon Dr, Reno, NV 89506 
  • Hours: Open Sunday-Wednesday 8am-10pm, Thursday-Saturday 8am-11pm
  • License: Listed by Nevada CCB as “THE DISPENSARY – 340 Lemmon Dr, Suite A – Adult Use, Y.” 

6. RISE Dispensaries Reno – Northtowne

RISE Dispensaries Reno anchors the northeastern side of the city from its location at 2881 Northtowne Ln. Herb’s listing confirms a 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. daily schedule, straightforward parking, and a fully licensed adult-use retail operation. RISE is known nationally for a more educational approach, and the Reno store keeps that theme: you’ll find simple explanations of product types, effects, and consumption methods. Budtenders often ask about your goals (sleep, pain, creativity, socializing) before making recommendations, which helps keep impulse mistakes to a minimum.

Because Northtowne is home to plenty of big-box retail and food, RISE fits easily into a normal errand loop rather than being a separate trip. Herb’s Reno content points to RISE as a good starting point for people who prefer chain consistency and more conservative branding. Expect frequent promos on cartridges and daily flower deals that keep regular costs reasonable. It’s a solid choice if you’re north or east of downtown and want somewhere that feels familiar on repeat visits.

What Makes Them Special:

  • 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. hours, seven days a week 
  • Strong emphasis on education and “guided shopping”
  • Reliable chain-level experience with local staff
  • Easy to add into regular Northtowne errands

Best For: Northtowne-area shoppers and anyone who likes a big, national brand with a clear, educational approach.

Location & Hours:

  • Address: 2881 Northtowne Ln, Reno, NV 89512 
  • Hours: Open daily 9am-9pm
  • License: Adult-use retailer listed as “RISE – 2881 Northtowne Ln – Adult Use, Y” by Nevada CCB. 

7. Silver State Relief – South Reno (12240 Old Virginia Rd)

Silver State Relief built its name in Sparks, but its South Reno shop at 12240 Old Virginia Rd gives residents in the growing South Meadows area a closer option. The location sits just off I-580, making it an easy detour whether you’re commuting, heading to the outlets, or coming back from the lake. Inside, the vibe skews “Nevada local” more than corporate chain, with a big emphasis on locally grown flower and in-house products. Menus are usually heavy on bulk deals, value ounces, and rotating promos that appeal to regulars.

While Silver State doesn’t have its own Herb profile yet, Herb’s Reno guide still calls it out as one of the region’s flagship operators. You’ll find a full spread of flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, vapes, and edibles, plus plenty of staff on busy weekends. Because this location is a bit removed from downtown and Midtown, parking is usually easier and the flow feels less rushed. If you live in South Reno or further south toward Carson, this is often the most practical licensed shop to adopt as “your” store.

What Makes Them Special:

  • Long-time Nevada operator with deep local roots in Sparks and Reno 
  • Convenient freeway-adjacent location for South Reno and Carson-bound traffic
  • Strong deals on bulk flower and house brands
  • Frequently recommended in Herb’s Reno roundups despite not being a Herb-profiled shop yet

Best For: South Reno residents and anyone driving the I-580 corridor who wants a locally anchored option with big menus.

Location & Hours:

  • Address: 12240 Old Virginia Rd, Reno, NV 89521 
  • Hours: Open daily 8am-10pm 
  • License: Listed by Nevada CCB as “SILVER STATE RELIEF – 12240 Old Virginia Rd – Adult Use, Y.” 

8. THRIVE Cannabis Marketplace – Reno (7300 S Virginia St)

THRIVE Cannabis Marketplace brings its Las Vegas energy north to Reno with a shop at 7300 S Virginia St, right in the thick of South Reno shopping and dining. THRIVE’s statewide reputation centers on big, modern stores with large menus and aggressive daily promotions, and the Reno location follows that template. You’ll see a wide range of Nevada brands across flower, vapes, concentrates, and edibles, often with multiple promotions running at once. The space tends to be bright and contemporary, which appeals if you prefer a more “retail” feel than a small, low-key shop.

Even though THRIVE’s Reno store doesn’t yet have a full Herb profile, it’s easy to spot in Herb’s Reno map and roundup as one of the city’s major players. Because of its location on South Virginia, it works well for both Reno residents and visitors driving in from the south. Expect wait times to spike on weekends and holidays, but online ordering and pickup help smooth things out. If you like big menus, chain consistency, and lots of promos, THRIVE is worth a look.

What Makes Them Special:

  • Large, modern storefront with a wide brand mix
  • Strong promotions and sales, especially on weekends
  • Well-known Nevada chain with multiple locations statewide
  • Easy access from South Virginia Street shopping districts

Best For: Deal hunters and shoppers who prefer a large, modern, “big box” cannabis retail experience.

Location & Hours:

  • Address: 7300 S Virginia St, Suite B, Reno, NV 89511 
  • Hours: Open daily 8am-12am
  • License: Listed as “THRIVE CANNABIS MARKETPLACE – 7300 S Virginia St, Suite B – Adult Use” in the Nevada CCB list. 

9. Battle Born Dispensary – Reno (High Sierra Holistics – 5270 Longley Ln)

Battle Born Dispensary is the newest name on Reno’s licensed roster, operating the Longley Lane shop under the High Sierra Holistics LLC retail license at 5270 Longley Ln, Suite 103. The brand leans into a “rugged but welcoming” Nevada identity, with a curated menu focused on local products and its own HSH-branded infused pre-rolls. The Reno location sits in a busy commercial corridor near McCarran and South Virginia, giving it easy access for commuters and South-central residents. Reviews highlight friendly staff, loyalty rewards, and a space that feels more like a neighborhood shop than a corporate chain.

Herb’s Reno tools already surface Battle Born when you zoom in around Longley Lane, but the brand is also featured prominently in regional “best of” lists and local directories. Hours generally run from early morning to mid-evening (with some later nights mid-week and on Fridays), making it practical for both before-work and after-work stops. The shop’s emphasis on loyalty rewards makes it especially appealing if you plan to pick one “home” dispensary and stick with it. Combined with its strong local identity, Battle Born rounds out Reno’s list of licensed city dispensaries with something a bit more independent-feeling.

What Makes Them Special:

  • Operated by High Sierra Holistics under a fully licensed Nevada retail permit 
  • Strong local identity and focus on curated menus rather than overwhelm
  • Loyalty program that rewards regular visits
  • Convenient Longley Lane location near major roads and services

Frequently Asked Questions

Are weed shops legal in Reno, NV?

Yes, licensed weed shops are legal in Reno for adults 21 and over. Nevada voters approved adult-use cannabis in 2016, and the state created the Cannabis Compliance Board (CCB) to license and regulate dispensaries. Only shops with an active state retail license – like the listed above – can legally sell cannabis in Reno. Buying from unlicensed sellers or “smoke shops” that aren’t licensed dispensaries is not legal. The CCB’s public List of Licensees is the easiest way to confirm a Reno shop is officially licensed.

Do I need a medical card to buy from these Reno dispensaries?

No, you do not need a medical marijuana card to buy from Reno’s licensed adult-use shops if you are at least 21 years old. Nevada law allows adults 21+ to purchase cannabis for recreational use from any licensed retail store. Medical cardholders still get extra protections and sometimes better tax treatment or purchase limits, but a card isn’t required for standard adult-use purchases. Young people under 21 cannot legally buy or even enter retail cannabis stores unless they are qualified medical patients with proper documentation. Shops are required to check IDs at the door and at the register to enforce these rules. 

Can tourists buy weed in Reno, and what should they bring?

Yes, tourists can buy weed in Reno as long as they are 21 or older and present a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport. Nevada’s cannabis laws don’t require you to be a resident to purchase adult-use cannabis from licensed dispensaries. You should expect your ID to be scanned and checked both at the door and at checkout. Keep in mind that it’s illegal to drive under the influence, bring cannabis through airport security, or carry it across state lines. Plan to store products securely and consume only where it’s legal and allowed by property owners or hosts. 

Where can I legally smoke or consume cannabis in Reno?

In Nevada, it is generally legal for adults 21+ to consume cannabis only in private residences or in specifically licensed consumption venues. Public consumption – including parks, sidewalks, casinos, hotels, and event venues – remains illegal under state law and can lead to fines. Reno does not yet have the same density of licensed consumption lounges as Las Vegas, so most visitors rely on private spaces where smoking or vaping is allowed. Always check your hotel or rental rules, because many properties ban smoking of any kind (including cannabis). When in doubt, assume public use is not allowed and keep products sealed until you’re in a clearly legal, private space. 

How much weed can I legally buy at a Reno dispensary?

As of early 2024, Nevada increased its recreational possession limits for adults 21 and over. Consumers may legally possess and, in practice, purchase up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis flower or one-quarter (¼) ounce of THC concentrate at a time. Dispensaries use point-of-sale systems to track totals per transaction and keep you within the legal daily limit. Medical patients may have different limits, but they still must buy only from licensed dispensaries. Even if you buy less than the legal maximum, it’s your responsibility to store and transport it safely and follow all consumption rules.

How does Herb.co help me choose the right Reno dispensary?

Herb.co acts like a vetted directory that connects you to licensed dispensaries, educational guides, and product recommendations. On pages like Best Dispensaries in Reno, NV and individual listings for Zen Leaf Reno, Mynt Cannabis | Reno North, and RISE Dispensaries Reno, you can cross-check addresses, hours, amenities, and state license IDs. Reviews and brand spotlights give you a feel for each shop’s vibe before you show up, whether you prefer educational chains or more local-feeling stores. Herb also publishes broader guides on Nevada law, dosing, and product types so you’re not going in blind. Used together with the Nevada CCB’s license list, Herb makes it easier to stick to legal, regulated dispensaries in Reno.
