Nevada may become the first state to make marijuana use legal for any reason--medical or recreational.

On the ballot is a proposat that would eliminate penalties for possessing up to three ounces of marijuana for any reason and direct the state legislature to treat marijuana similarly to tobacco and alcohol by implementing a system that would oversee its growth and sale, and impose taxes thereby creating revenue. Here is site carrying the text of the initiative.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal endorsed the idea in a July 7 editorial, calling it "a promising first step" toward ending "the needless harassment of individuals who peacefully and privately use marijuana."

The law is not without restrictions. It would prohibit selling marijuana to anyone under 21, or in public place such as schools and parks.

A recent poll showed the measure has a 44% appoval rating with 10% undecided.

This is an opportunity for Nevada to shine by becoming the first state to to take the big step and "just say no" to the war on drugs.
