One week from Saturday, despite some recent road bumps, some medical marijuana dispensaries will be able to sell recreationally.

Governor Brian Sandoval has signed some emergency legislation, at the request The Department of Taxation, creating labeling guidelines for recreational marijuana. This legislation was necessary before sales began.

There is still an injunction filed by a Carson City judge limiting distribution licenses to people who currently hold liquor wholesale licenses. Channel 2 News has reached out to local Reno dispensaries since that decision and have been told they were still able to get a distributor and planned for a July 1st start date. This announcement might give them another option.

The Department of Taxation says that dispensaries that receive adult-use marijuana store licenses can sell the inventory they have on hand on July 1st as medical or adult-use, as long as the products sold as adult-use meet the packaging and labeling requirements established in the emergency regulation set to be adopted Monday.

HAVANA (AP) — The U.S. and Cuba are still cooperating to intercept drug smugglers even through the Trump administration has halted high-level meetings on stopping the flow of narcotics through the Caribbean, a top Cuban anti-drug official said Thursday.

The amount of drugs seized by Cuban authorities has tripled this year over the same period in 2016, to 1.8 tons of narcotics, said Antonio Israel Ibarra, the head of Cuba’s National Commission on Drugs.

That number is tiny compared to drug seizures in neighboring countries, but it represents a surge due largely to U.S.-Cuban cooperation on halting shipments of marijuana through or near Cuban territorial waters, Ibarra said.

Cuba maintains a pervasive state-security apparatus that has managed to keep levels of drug smuggling and serious crime to some of the lowest in Latin American and the Caribbean. U.S. officials say day-to-day cooperation on halting U.S.-bound human trafficking and narcotics has improved significantly since the re-establishment of diplomatic relations in 2015, with the two nations’ coast guards talking directly to each other and cooperating in real time on a regular basis.
