CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - A Nevada judge has denied a request from a group of alcohol distributors to stop the recently approved emergency regulations that allow the state to license some retailers to transport pot from growers to storefronts.

I’ve got a pot emergency!
Har! You and the rest of us...
Whole thing is sad. Should be banning pot and throwing these folks into jail. No good from pot. As an employer, I say fire anyone buying and using pot. Zero tolerance.
Carson City District Judge James Todd “Fat Freddie” Russell denied the request Monday...
Now it’s time for some “Emergency” legal rulings to eliminate the middle man in healthcare.
This is the exact same type of supply and demand situation...
“Should be banning pot and throwing these folks into jail.”
So you would deny the will of Nevada voters? That’s hardly a conservative stance to take.
“As an employer, I say fire anyone buying and using pot. Zero tolerance.”
It’s your business & your well within your rights as a business owner to drug test any current or potential employees & fire those who violate your drug policies.
I’ve been having a pot emergency. Why did I eat that black bean soup for dinner?
No more good from, say, professional 'wrestling' - is that sufficient reason to ban it?
Funny how trying to ban away a spiritual problem only ends up getting it to go into closets if not also morph into something worse.
In 20/20 hindsight it would have been better to take the addiction bull by the horns. Because banning something that can be misused for purposes of addiction never ends up passing the sniff test of truth in the end. God never designed the creation to work that way.
Because it’s easy to blame a mere powder for our own soul failings that leave us vulnerable to the devil beckoning us to use that powder for something evil.
But if the devil can’t take occasion through the powder easily, he’ll either try harder, or go to other things. We really have a whack-a-mole problem here, with about 1,000,000 moles lurking around.
Professional wrestlers don’t destroy the community, cost taxpayers money, or kill people.
Neither has a powder or a weed. Those things lack volition. Just as in the case of the “gun control” issue — people do.
Sounds like freedom is not right for you. Perhaps a nice, totalitarian dictatorship is more your speed.
I know a whole bunch of pot smoking military vets who would be happy to escort you to your destination with extreme prejudice.
> Professional wrestlers don’t destroy the community, cost taxpayers money, or kill people.
Nor does pot.
But I have a feeling that all three of those complaints apply to you personally.
Periodic performance tests would be more to the point than periodic substance tests. Granted today’s semi-rabid legal environment, in which someone taking drugs can land a company into legal trouble just on the basis of an articulable suspicion.
It’s obviously not performance which is the concern.
This is so obviously grounded in people who can’t control themselves trying to compensate for that lack of self-control by controlling others, that I would be embarrassed for those promoting it if I didn’t feel they actually deserve to be treated as the enemy.
It takes people to use anything that lacks volition to a good or bad end.
I believe obsession with drugs is foolish, and people who muck around with them just to be “cool” are opening their doors to all manner of mischief. I believe God allowed for these things desiring that wise people would use them as medicines, but permitting that foolish people would use them as means of addiction.
And it ultimately traces back to lack of love for neighbor, which in turn comes from lack of love for God who created the neighbor.
I wouldn’t want someone buzzed out of their gourd to be in a post for a safety related issue. And this is where performance testing would be to the point. Whether the person took a compromising substance or tried to go to work sick or whatever, it would catch it.
I believe those who are not hypocritical about self-control can then advise about how to exercise the need in other situations, but even then at a level no higher than it needs to go.
