Nevada Cops: About Face
Not long ago we wrote about the Nevade Cops and Sheriffs Org. who came out supporting the November ballot initiative on decriminalizing marijuana in that state.
It sounded too good to be true and it was. The AP is now reporting that the Nevada police group has changed its stance.
The ballot initiative would allow marijuana to be sold only in state-licensed and taxed smoke shops. it would still be a crime for minors to possess or use the drug and and public use would be banned.
To become law, the measure must pass twice in November and again in 2004. For more on the intitiative, go to Marijuana Policy Project.
