Carson City District Judge James Todd Russell on Thursday denied a preliminary injunction sought by liquor distributors to stop the Nevada Tax Department from letting marijuana licensees get into the business of transporting pot from growers to retailers.
Russell said liquor wholesalers have appeal rights to the Tax Commission on the decision last week by Tax Department Director Deonne Contine that liquor wholesalers were insufficient to satisfy the demand for recreational pot deliveries.
The judge also rescinded a temporary restraining order issued last Friday stopping the Tax Department from moving forward with licensing marijuana companies to distribute the retail product.
