Recreational pot sales may be delayed in Nev.

Nevada may not get recreational marijuana sales in July as promised.
A group of alcohol distributors are demanding that they have exclusive rights to transport marijuana for the first 18 months of the industry. A district court judge in Carson City validated their concerns Tuesday evening, issuing an order that prevents the state from issuing any recreational marijuana distribution licenses before the matter is resolved.
Distribution licenses cost $15,000 under temporary regulations that go into effect with the state’s early start program, expected to debut on July 1.
