iWantClones ships HpLVd-screened cannabis clones to every Nevada ZIP code under the federal 2018 Farm Bill hemp framework. Nevada legalized recreational cannabis in November 2016 through Question 2 (54% support), with retail sales beginning July 1, 2017. The framework is in Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 678A. Adults 21+ can possess 1 oz of flower and grow 6 plants per adult (max 12 per household) — but only if they live more than 25 miles from a licensed dispensary. This “25-mile rule” is Nevada’s unique quirk: most Las Vegas and Reno-area residents cannot legally cultivate at home.
