Nevada dispensaries raked in more than $27 million during it’s first month of recreational sales and the state pulled in more than $10 million in marijuana taxes and licensing fees, according to figures released Thursday by the Nevada Department of Taxation.
Carson City District Judge James Todd Russell on Thursday denied a preliminary injunction sought by liquor distributors to stop the Nevada Tax Department from letting marijuana licensees get into the business of transporting pot from growers to retailers.
After two weeks of watching inventory dwindle, pot shops in Nevada will soon be able to restock their shelves.
A legal challenge by alcohol distributors over who could transport recreational marijuana between cultivation facilities and dispensaries looked as though it might push back the state’s goal of rolling out marijuana sales on July 1.
A Carson City district court judge on Tuesday refused to dismiss a lawsuit brought by liquor distributors against the Department of Taxation over the distribution of recreational marijuana to pot dispensaries.
