The state is asking a judge to dismiss a suit filed by alcohol distributors, that could postpone the July 1 startup of recreational sales of marijuana in Nevada. Carson City District Judge James Wilson granted a temporary restraining order May 30 blocking the licensing of pot distributors, until he can hold a hearing on the lawsuit filed by the Independent Alcohol Distributors of Nevada. The distributors say the ballot measure voters approved says alcohol distributors get the first claim of pot distribution licenses. The Nevada Department of Taxation says because the alcohol distributors were slow to apply, they want to allow existing medical marijuana dispensaries tobe licensed on a temporary basis from July 1 until the end of the year. The hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.
