Open Defiance of Cannabis Laws Grow

UPS ships a lot of pot. I smell it at some point most days. I often hear management say they think they find about 1% of it. This is because they do not care.
I totally get that it is not our job to worry about what is in the boxes. To a certain degree of course, since we worry about hazmats, and batteries etc.

I could find the pot, probably every day if it were encouraged.

One time I found a box that I could tell (smell) was pot, (and senders name was the same as the recipient). I felt obligated to say something, and reported it as being suspicious (one of my old SUPS would have got a kick out of it)...

Not so much. Somehow I left feeling like I had done something wrong.

Marijuana Shortage Prompts Emergency In Nevada; Tax Officials Weigh Changes

Sales of recreational marijuana have blown past expectations in Nevada, threatening to leave some dispensaries with empty shelves. After Gov. Brian Sandoval endorsed a statement of emergency in the first week of legal sales, regulators are looking to bolster the supply chain.

The Nevada Tax Commission is meeting Thursday to determine whether the state has enough wholesale marijuana distributors; it could also adopt emergency regulations.

"Right now, only companies that are also licensed to distribute liquor in Nevada are able to bring marijuana to dispensaries," Nevada Public Radio's Casey Morell reports for NPR's Newscast unit. "The dispensaries say that's why they're running out of the drug."

Nevada opened the retail pot market on July 1. The state has 47 licensed stores, and in the first weekend of sales, "well over 40,000 retail transactions" were carried out, tax officials say. Some retailers said they racked up twice as many sales as they had estimated — and they also reported a dire need for new deliveries to restock their shelves.

Don't do anything Nevada. Don't intervene. For once just let natural market forces address the problem and either solve it or kill it.

For your economic education kids.....low supply should drive the price up. Higher prices will tend to increase crime for those who can't afford their daily weed.
