Nevada state officials declared a state of emergency after stores that sell recreational marijuana reported that their supply is running out just less than two weeks after the drug went on sale legally.
Gov. Brian Sandoval, R-Nev., issued the state of emergency on Friday, which will allow state officials to decide on new rules that could ease the shortage of marijuana, according to Fox 13 Now.
Nevadas Department of Taxation released a statement that said it will contemplate emergency regulations that would permit liquor wholesalers to cash in on the marijuana sales.
Based on reports of adult-use marijuana sales already far exceeding the industrys expectations at the states 47 licensed retail marijuana stores and the reality that many stores are running out of inventory, the Department must address the lack of distributors immediately, the Department of Taxation said in a statement. Some establishments report the need for delivery within the next several days.

There’s a business opportunity for all you wannabe horticulturists out there in the Lost Wages vicinity.

Sin is like sin. Once you start it, demand increases.
It follows the same growth curve as stupid. Surely a coincidence.

But Freepers told me marijuana was the perfect substance that has never had a negative effect and is only amazingly positive? Yeah. Except for those who have a psychotic reaction. A sizable minority.

So what if there is too little supply? What is the emergency if it takes longer to get?

I don’t use drugs at all. I have a question. Slot machines have become completely passive, not really gambling at all. You press a button, the wheels spin, bright lights blink off and on, the noises they make create an impression of success. Deposit the money, get a credit when you leave (if it isn’t all spent). It’s an environment that could turn anyone into a mind-controlled zombie. How does that work with folks who are stoned? Do they lose sight of how much money they’re losing?

Venezuela didn’t even do this when the country ran out of beer and toilet paper. That’s more of a tragedy.

The certified distributors are running out of pot. The non-certified ones aren't but they can't sell because they aren't certified. The certification process is backed up, and the Guv is intervening because his backers are getting screwed out of the 18-month monopoly they were promised. And he can only intervene in a declared state of emergency.
Somebody tell me if I'm misinterpreting, please.

“They have realized that running out of mj is a state of emergency. They arent the first to feel that way.”

They were stoned when they said that.
One of the downsides of weed is that it apparently turns people into evangelical zealots for their degraded drug.
