While probably not the very best of places to put this, it does include a link between Nevada and cannabis.
It seems you can't sell or promote marijuana related items at the annual electronics show known as CES. Vaping items are specifically prohibited. Keep labs wanted to show off its Keep. (Apparently a wireless safe for cannabis that opens when your related phone app gets a thumbprint or facial match.) The product had previously won a CES award, but the annual organizers where still afraid and wanted many limitations on how to market the item.

LAS VEGAS — A Canadian cannabis tech company has pulled out of the CES gadget show after being given constraints on how it could promote its products.
Nearly a dozen states allow the use and sale of marijuana for recreational purposes, and policies around the world vary. Broad marijuana sales began in Nevada in 2017. Las Vegas, where CES takes place, is now home to what’s claimed to be the world’s largest cannabis dispensary, Planet 13.
But CES organizers say marijuana’s acceptance isn’t widespread yet. CES organizers prohibited Keep Labs from mentioning the word cannabis, showing cannabis in promotional materials or discussing what the Keep device does.
“We don’t allow pornographic. We don’t allow content where children are killed. We don’t allow anything with vaping,” said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association, which organizes CES. “Marijuana has been a tougher one for us.”
He said the show is waiting to see if marijuana becomes more legal, at least in the U.S.
“It is changing very quickly, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we changed it sometime in the future as well,” he said.
Keep Labs was awarded a prestigious CES Innovation Award in October for its “Keep” home cannabis storage device. It connects wirelessly to an app and lets users unlock the storage unit with a fingerprint or facial recognition. After CES placed limits on what Keep can show, the company decided it was better not to attend at all.
Keep was to be one of about 4,500 companies exhibiting at the four-day CES show, which opened Tuesday.
Keep co-founder Philip Wilkins described the move as “naive.”
Planet 13 dispensary’s marketing specialist, Brandon Zimmer, said he was surprised by organizers’ decision, given that CES is supposed to be a showcase for tech innovations. He said cannabis tech is an exciting field, with lots of invention and new devices.
But Gartner analyst Werner Goertz said organizers are being smart in being cautious.
Last year, CES also banned an innovation award winner, a vibrator made by a female-founded startup. That led to complaints that CES was being tone deaf on diversity. CES ultimately relented and allowed space for sex tech companies this year as a trial.

So the trifecta of evil is now 1. Porn 2. Child murder and 3. Vaping.
Go Fuck yourself CES......its about time you go the way of E3 and stop shoveling your vaporware......ironic as fuck considering their stance on vaping.

Unfortunately, this is the message one of our best dispensaries in Northern Nevada posted on their website:
Sol Cannabis in Washoe Valley
“Attention: The State has ordered us to stop ALL DISPENSARY IN-STORE sales as of 3/20/2020.
We will be closed to the public for in-store operations. However, we will have delivery-only service until further notice.”
Delivery takes one to two days because the delivery business is now overwhelmed by new business.
