A Carson City District judge has denied a request from a group of alcohol distributors, to block the emergency regulations from the Taxation Division, that allow the state to license some retailers to transport pot from growers to storefronts. State regulators approved the emergency regulations to keep retailers from running out of stock. Judge James Russell denied the group’s request citing the state’s argument that the rules are protecting state tax revenues. The court fight stem from the ballot measure approved in November, that said only alcohol wholesalers can transport marijuana from growers to store fronts for the next 18 months.
