Dispensaries closing tonight in Nevada for the duration per Governor's order

Get it while you can.

No related story other than the Governor's formalizing the temporary closure of non-essential businesses. I personally called the dispensaries to verify.

in Illinois to same stay at home decree 5 pm tomorrow
Does that include medicinal mj clinics ?
Seems like that would be a pharmacy

That’s ok I’m illegally good . I won’t smoke now but made a stash of cookies for these times we are in

One friend's first question when discussing stay at home rules and everything closing but essentials
But they are going to keep liquor stores open right ?
I have no idea
but not really a grocery exactly but they do sell chips and cigs I guess

2. I think what constitutes essential services may differ in various states

but convenience stores and liquor stores that sell beer, cigarettes and snacks are staying open here in Nevada. I would think that States that have medical-only dispensaries will likely see them remain open if only for delivery.

The last I heard about the recreation mj places they were letting only a few in at a time and spacing waiting in line . An hourly sanitize done

But you are correct what constitutes essential services vary by state and cannabis and liquor are part of that in IL
So no need here to run out and get pot or liquor by 5 pm tomorrow in IL
