Stephanie Siverston, chief financial officer for Lee's Discount Liquor, said the company hasn't made any final decisions about recreational marijuana.
"We haven't picked a side one way or the other," Siverston said. "We're waiting to get some guidance and information from the state and everyone involved in it to find out how it's going to be structured. We're interested in learning more about it."
Officials say that because alcohol distributors work closely with the federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, the tax department wasn't surprised by the lack of interest in dealing with federally illegal marijuana.
