State officials in Nevada are considering emergency measures to deal with a lack of marijuana.<\/p>\n

Demand has been strong since recreational use was legalised on 1 July.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of outlets but not enough distributors, the\u00a0Reno Gazette-Journalreports.<\/p>\n

Legislation gave liquor wholesalers the right to distribute, but most do not meet the licence requirements, Nevada\u2019s tax department is quoted as saying.<\/p>\n

The department issued a \u201cstatement of emergency\u201d, which means state officials could adopt emergency measures to combat the shortage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The journal quotes tax department spokeswoman Stephanie Klapstein as saying that many of Nevada\u2019s 47 marijuana stores are running out amid \u201creports of adult-use marijuana sales already far exceeding the industry\u2019s expectations\u201d.<\/p>\n

Nevada Dispensary Association estimated sales of $3m (\u00a32.3m) in the first four days of legalisation, with tax revenue of $1m.<\/p>\n

Nevada voted in favour of legalising recreational use of marijuana in November, following similar moves in several other states.<\/p>\n

Medical use of marijuana is permitted in 25 states, including Nevada where it has been legal since 2001.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
