Dispensaries in Sparks

Sparks has 5 dispensaries licensed by the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board (CCB). Adults 21 and over may buy with a valid government photo ID, and out-of-state visitors are welcome with their home license or a passport. Medical cardholders can be served at any of them, since every Nevada adult-use store is a dual licensee. Sparks is on the CCB's 2022 list of cities that opted out of cannabis consumption lounge licensing, so there is no lounge in town.

Four of the five Sparks stores share a single ZIP code, 89431, on or near Glendale Avenue and Greg Street, just south of Interstate 80, which makes it easy to compare menus in one trip. The fifth is far to the north in Spanish Springs. Ratings are high across the board: Curaleaf on East Glendale Avenue and RISE Spanish Springs each hold 4.9 stars.

Visiting a Dispensary in Sparks: ID, Payment and Hours

Show a valid, unexpired photo ID with your date of birth at the counter. Under NRS 678D.500, the state cannot make stores collect more personal information than that. Pay with cash or debit unless the store tells you it takes credit. Nobody in Sparks stays open past 10 p.m., so for late shopping you will need to cross into Reno.

Sparks and Nevada Cannabis Laws: Purchase Limits, Public Use and Driving

An adult may buy and possess up to 2.5 ounces of usable cannabis or one-quarter ounce of concentrate at one time, and may give that much to another adult as long as nothing is exchanged. Consuming cannabis in a public place or a vehicle is a misdemeanor, with a fine of up to $600. The Sparks Marina, Victorian Square and city parks all count as public, and casino properties follow Nevada gaming policy that bars licensees from the cannabis business.

Because Sparks opted out of lounges, the legal place to use cannabis is a private residence where the owner agrees. Do not drive after using it; impairment is never protected under NRS 678D.300. The full details are in our Nevada marijuana laws guide.

Cannabis Taxes in Sparks

Sparks is in Washoe County, where the Nevada Department of Taxation lists an 8.265% sales tax. Add Nevada's 10% retail excise tax on adult-use sales; cardholders are exempt from that part. For a national comparison, see cannabis prices by state in 2026.

Medical Marijuana in Sparks

No Sparks store is medical-only, but every store may serve Nevada cardholders as a dual licensee, and patients authorized in some other states can be served on valid proof under NRS 678C.470.
