Carson City District Court Judge James Wilson denied the state’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought by liquor distributors, who want to delay the launch of recreational marijuana sales. Liquor distributors were granted the temporary restraining order holding up the implementation while the lawsuit was heard. They claim the State Taxation Department’s regulations for licensing distributors of marijuana are arbitrary and have effectively blocked the state’s liquor distributors from being licensed to sell marijuana. The distributors have been slow to apply for licenses, and the state moved on to license current medical marijuana distributors to pick up the slack. Judge Wilson set a one day hearing for next Monday on the lawsuit.
