CARSON CITY, Nev. --- Today, on the steps of the State Capitol building, the campaign manager for Nevadans for Sensible Marijuana Laws, Dave Schwartz, unveiled the details of a proposed 2012 ballot initiative to establish a taxed and regulated marijuana market in the state of Nevada.
The press conference occurred immediately after Schwartz submitted the initiative petition to the Secretary of State. Submission to the Secretary of State is a prerequisite to circulating the petition throughout the state. The campaign will need to collect 97,002 valid signatures by November 2010 in order to qualify for the November 2012 ballot.
The initiative proposes a closed and regulated system for marijuana distribution. Adults aged 21 and older would be able to possess up to one ounce of marijuana and would be able to purchase marijuana from approximately 120 retail stores spread throughout the state.
Do you support this proposal?

Mr. Weston, if I were a Nevadan I would support it, just as I voted for the medical marijuana law in California when I lived there.
