Recreational sales of marijuana in Nev. in limbo

Recreational sales of marijuana in Nevada may not begin next month after all.
A judge added to the uncertainty Tuesday when he extended a temporary order barring the state from issuing pot distribution licenses to existing medical marijuana dispensaries so they can begin recreational sales July 1.
Carson City District Judge James Wilson said in a 11-page ruling that the ballot measure voters approved in November dictates that licensed alcohol wholesalers have the exclusive rights to pot distribution licenses for 18 months.
One has to admit that it’s quite ironic that the state that was put on the map for legalized vices seems to be behind the curve on implementing the legalization of this one.
