In the law voted on by Nevadans in November, part of the deal was that marijuana could only be distributed by companies that traditionally distribute alcohol.
Colorado actually saw an uptick in alcohol sales following legalization, but sales have fallen since.
Other states like Oregon and Washington have shown decreased alcohol sales.
Retailers tried increasing the price to temper sales, but it looks like the state is still headed for a drought.
But the regulation is being challenged in court even with only seven alcohol distributors having applied for licenses to distribute marijuana.
So eventually the problem will sort itself out.
On top of the distribution issues, the state also seems to be having some growing issues as well.
Marijuana growers are in the middle of growing their next crop, and some have even sold that once its ready.
Nevada’s issues serve as a warning to future states considering or preparing for legalization.
But California has been growing the country’s marijuana for years, so unless they have plans to bottleneck the industry, they shouldn’t have any issues.
