The Nevada Tax Commission voted Monday to adopt temporary regulations proposed by the Department of Taxation, clearing the way for medical marijuana establishments to apply for recreational licenses and begin selling to the general public on July 1. Monday’s vote was the final state hurdle blocking recreational sales. The temporary regulations, known as “early start”, allow currently operating medical marijuana establishments to apply for recreational sale licenses. The licenses will be denied or revoked if the businesses have any violations or fail to pay taxes. But the early start will close the gap which allows people to possess and smoke marijuana, but not purchase.
