marijuana may be decriminalized in Nevada

Prostitution, and gambling are already legal, why not pot ? Thats the question the Committee to Regulate and Control Marijuana is asking Nevada voters, and they hope on November 7th the voters will approve the decriminalization of posession of up to an ounce of marijuana for adults. Similiar laws exist in Denver and the rest of Colorado will vote next month. The Nevada law is different though, in that the states department of taxation will be allowed to regulate, and license marijuana growers, distributors, and retailers.

Canada should also put a similiar law into effect, the federal and provincial governments already make huge profits from taxes imposed on the sale of alcohol and tobacco, they could make all sorts of money if they taxed the sale of legal marijuana. in addition to making more money, the government would also be making it more difficult for drug dealers to make a living.
