Nev. approves opening pot distribution rights
By Sean Whaley, Las Vegas Review-Journal
CARSON CITY — The Nevada Department of Taxation decided Thursday that there are an inadequate number of liquor distributors interested in transporting marijuana to Nevada’s retail establishments, opening up the business to others.
The decision came after a telephone conference hearing bringing the industry, agency officials and the public up to date on whether the alcohol industry alone is sufficient to distribute pot to points of sale around the state.
