cannabisnews.com: Going to Pot: Nevada Plan to Legalize Marijuana Going to Pot: Nevada Plan to Legalize Marijuana Posted by CN Staff on September 13, 2002 at 14:26:23 PT By Brendan Riley, Associated Press Writer Source: Associated Press In Nevada, they love gambling and tolerate prostitution. Now they are talking about legalizing pot. A measure on the ballot Nov. 5 would make Nevada the first state to allow adults to possess marijuana -- up to 3 ounces, enough for maybe 100 joints. People over 21 would be allowed to smoke it in their homes but not in cars or public places. Pot would be sold in state-licensed smoke shops and taxed like cigarettes. "This initiative will allow the police to spend more time going after murderers, rapists and other violent criminals," said Billy Rogers, leader of the group that is pushing the measure. Whether it could actually take effect is unclear. Federal law bans marijuana possession, and the White House has come out strongly against the idea. Also, Nevada voters would have to approve the proposal again in 2004 before it became law. Nevada, home of the nation's gambling capital, has long had a fondness for what others forbid. Although prostitution is banned in Las Vegas, Reno, Carson City -- and in 49 states -- it is legal in 10 of Nevada's 17 counties. The 30 licensed brothels in the state are monitored by the state Health Division. In addition, Las Vegas has a multitude of outcall entertainment services that are thought to be fronts for call-girl businesses. But the vote on marijuana represents a remarkable about-face in Nevada's attitudes toward pot. A year ago, Nevada had one of the nation's strictest marijuana laws. Possession of a single joint was a felony punishable by a year or more in prison. In 2000, Nevada voters approved the use of medical marijuana, and the Legislature voted in 2001 to make possession of less than an ounce of pot a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Opinion polls on the marijuana measure show Nevadans almost evenly split, with opponents gaining ground. "What message are we sending our youth if this initiative passes? That it's OK to take drugs?" said school counselor Teresa Jempsa. "If marijuana becomes legal, then what drug is next?" The plan was put on the November ballot after the group led by Rogers, Nevadans for Responsible Law Enforcement, gathered the necessary 75,000 signatures. Other states are debating looser marijuana laws, but none are considering legalization for recreational purposes. Arizona voters will soon decide on making possession of up to 2 ounces a non-criminal violation punishable by a maximum fine of $250. San Francisco is exploring the idea of growing pot on public lots and distributing it to ill people. Ohio has the most lenient law in the nation, with possession of less than 100 grams -- nearly 4 ounces -- bringing a citation and $100 fine. In Nevada, law enforcement officials oppose the legalization measure. Undersheriff Richard Winget in Las Vegas said 3 ounces would produce enough marijuana joints to supply a small-time drug dealer. And Washoe County District Attorney Richard Gammick said the argument that Nevada would earn millions in tax dollars is "a ruse on the voting public." Federal Drug Enforcement Administration chief Asa Hutchinson and federal drug czar John P. Walters visited the state to underscore the Bush administration's opposition. "I don't think Las Vegas and Nevada want to become the center for drug tourism," Walters said. Jeff Oakes, a North Las Vegas resident, said he supports legalization. "As of right now," he said, "the most dangerous effect of marijuana possession and use is jail."

I don't smoke because my job doesn't allow it; and, I have seen lives of wonderful and hardworking colleagues devastated by prohibition and drug testing. It woke me-up to the "and this is America." I can no longer sit idly by and seeth in anger at what is happening. I live in NYC on West 14th and was actually talking on my cell-phone on Sept 11th on my 5th floor walk-up apartment. I have to use the roof because my cell doesn't work inside the apartment. My neighbor, a writer, for a national publication died that day as well as a young hispanic girl in the ground floor apartment. I am outraged that our goverment would use the deaths of these people to advocate a policy such as cannabis prohibition. I agree "totally" that prohibition creates terrorism by foreign and domestic groups. Please dddd or anyone tell me where to send my check to help see this initiative pass in Nevada.

A lengthy sermon could be aimed at lying. But a few easy points should make the Biblical position clear. The first sin mentioned in the Bible was the lie told by the Devil to Eve in Eden (Genesis 3:1-15 John 8:44). Jesus was betrayed by a liar and convicted by lying witnesses in the same kind of trial that drug defendents usually get, namely justice never enters into it. The person who most resembles a narc in the Bible is Judas Iscariot, the traitor. Prohibition's biggest failure from a Biblical view is that it tramples the "law of love" into the ground. Throwing drug users in prison for 5-10-20 years and even life-without-parole for using drugs is not remotely connected to Christian love. Violating the law of love is the absolute kiss of death for a policy in God's eyes. The inconsistencies mentioned above plus a dozen other clashes with Biblical principles are sufficient for drug prohibition to earn the Almighty's eternal damnation. Suffice to say, Bible standards are much too high and the prohibitionists are too low down for there ever to be a union between the two. Drug prohibition is an evil Satanic scheme. I (He) welcome discussion and debate. AUTHOR: R Givens rgivens sirius.com (from http://www.drugwarroom.com/BibleTruthvsDrugWarLies.htm.)

[ Post Comment ] Comment #11 posted by p4me on September 13, 2002 at 16:56:02 PT Preaching to the Choir- part 1 of 2 I first want to say that there has been a problem with the DE Messageboard all day, so we have no report about Colin's trial today.I was checking Marihemp to see if anyone put up the press release that came out after the raid on WAMM. It is sad that no one had including Safe Access. I felt it should be posted because we need to utilize the internet to communicate events and when it doesn't make a drug policy board at Marihemp that really is sad. My simple message to the choir is that you should participate in one forum that is not a cannabis site to spread the views of reform and post the press releases that will not find an outlet in the paper or telivision and not even on the web if we do not use it to communicate news.I posted it at a Charlotte website and got this response: "Just one small problem by Ranger_Dan I was in New york on the relief team after sept 11.Im having a little problem puting this pot problem into perspective.In the importance chain is it before saving the free world from terrorists or before solving hunger in our country.I realy nead a better cause to rally behind."And because I wrote a response I would like to share it with you since it is a copy and paste away. It is in part two that is comment10. [ Post Comment ] Comment #10 posted by p4me on September 13, 2002 at 16:54:25 PT Preaching to the choir- part 2 of 2 It is an interesting subject by p4me Well, there are really three areas that fall under the marijuana prohibition laws. One is hemp and a hemp food ban proclomated by the DEA last year. One is MMJ and the other is just marijuana for recreational use.We are the only industrialized country in the world to ban hemp and don't you find that a little strange. And the DEA is the enforcer of drug schedules but they are also the regulators of the schedule which is completely screwed up. Last year when Hutchinson took over they proclomated that hemp foods mainly coming from Canada would be illegal making them an enforcement authority and a legislative authority. The Canadian standards are 5 parts per 10,000 THC which poses absolutely no threat to someones health plus hempseed and its oil are considered to be the most nutritous of all plant foods and is one of the rare foods that contain Omega 3 fatty acids which are essential to health and the body does not manufacture. Besides walnuts and fish, I really do not know a source for Omega 3 and if I could by mayonnaise with hempseed oil I certainly would. Of course the DEA thinks it is a schedule 1 substance and worthy of arrest.Since Roosevelt signed the Marijuana Tax Act on 8/3/1937 half the forest that existed are gone yet the US led attack on anything cannabis does not relent even though, in all seriousness, it has caused untold environmental damage. The first clothes manufactured from plants rather than animals came from hemp for 10,000 years. Now cotton is still king even though half the pesticide used in I think the world is used on cotton. Of course http://www.crrh.org/ can tell you all about it and I found the videos that mention Jack Herer to be very interesting, but then I am a student of the situation.Let me just say that the hemp ban in my opinion is insane.MMJ is almost as insane. What do you think people used as medicine before the pill companies came along. What did people take for a headache before Bayer traced down the essential acid in the Weeping Willow tree that people used to use mostly on toothaches? Or even migraines that only laughs at aspirin. Well if you had a migraine and you had cannabis, you would use cannabis. And no, they did not smoke it. They would eat it and probably in a tea like the Jamacans did and they were the main group that popularized it in this hemisphere.But the DEA position is a lie and it is necessary to support the Schedule One Classification of Marijuana. In order to be in that schedule it has to be subject to abuse as in addictive which marijuana is not and it has cannot have ANY medical value which it has many. So I am saying that corruption keeps this improper classification and the press will not support it because the big industries like alcohol, paper, cotton, oil, and the pill industry do not want any discussion of anything cannabis.You may not be familiar with first hand accounts of what MMJ can do, but in all seriousness it can do many things. And when it is denied people it can kill them. So I say the lie supports murder to benefit those that oppose the cannabis plant and I really mean murder. But you obviously have a computer and the web is full of information on MJ and if you are interest you can read cannabisnews.com for a few days or off and on and catch the jest of MMJ and the murderous policy of the federal government that is supported by a term I coined and use often- the Schedule One Lie.I have tried to present the idea that when you see things with a cannabis light the world will look different than you now see it. Canada is extemely interesting now that the 2 year study by the Senate Committee recommended legalization for anyone over 16 and the removal of all MJ possession records for 600,000 Canadians. The 602 page report that came out last Wednesday interviewed people in Europe and the US and of course throughout Canada. It listened to the liar Walters that is the Drug Bizarre, and would in turn address all of his points as wrong (my word is lies.) It basically said that prohibition was wrong all along and the report is available online if you think I am lying or you can read the reviews at cannabisnews.com that have the older articles on the right.The government is repeatedly lying to preserve a political position that is killing people, much less the black market that is created by it.And then there is recreational use for a plant that has thousands of years use with no deaths. No overdoses and as hard as it is to believe, not even lung cancer when it the sole substance smoked. Legalization would bring a higher concentration of THC and the Canadian report wanted to limit recreational pot to 13%. But if it were legal you could buy soup or brownies with it and avoid the particle inhalation that is the worst health problem created that occurs when it smoked. But even more importantly it would let people medicate without the doctor.But the prohibitionist talk of the gateway theory and the antimotivation theory that were dispelled in the Senate Report and anything else they can throw at the situation even if it is a lie. But the main thing about their arguements are reasons a person might not should use MJ, but they never really address why people should be put in jail over it the whole time suppressing what the conservatives label a liberal press.So, you do not have to rally around anything. But if you think yourself a patriot you should be concerned about government corruption and with a cannabis informed attitude things will look different to you.There is an interesting situation developing in California in direct response to the raid on WAMM. They (WAMM and their supporters) will be passing out marijuana at City Hall in Santa Cruz next weekend. I am too tired to detail it but the federal government with the Schedule One Lie says any marijuana is illegal under federal law. Marinol is a synthetic THC that is quite legal and a schedule 3 substance made by Unimed in Illinois- and THC in marijuana has no medical value. Yeah, right and Marinol THC is great medicine. Then the California constitution says that the law enforcement officers have to uphold state law even if it is conflict with federal law until it is worked out, which means if the DEA take MMJ from a certified patient it is theft and they should be arrested. It raises a big issue of the 10th Amendment that says any power not granted the federal government is retained by the states and does the constitution say that the federal government can determine what Californians can use as medicine?It is all interesting especially California and Canada where the Supreme Court may throw out all marijuana laws because of the roadblocks used to stop a workable system for the nationwide policy that recognizes marijuana as medicine.It is very interesting and enlightening to study America's vicous and malicous attitude toward MJ, but the big question is why isn't it in the papers or discussed on tv.It is about to be discussed because a big part of the 73%+ that think marijuana is medicine are really pissed off at the lies of the government and their murderous ways.Cannabisnews.com is the place to visit for the next week if you ask me, but you don't have to rally and you can remain as ignorant as you like. Reason will prevail without you. --------------------1,2 [ Post Comment ] Comment #9 posted by FoM on September 13, 2002 at 16:29:14 PT JR Here You Go! http://www.mpp.org/NRLE_commercials/just_the_facts_commercial2.rm [ Post Comment ] Comment #8 posted by The GCW on September 13, 2002 at 16:27:31 PT When You click http://www.NRLE.org to see the video, look for the left side that has a place to click "TV ads".Or try:http://www.nrle.org/commercials.html [ Post Comment ] Comment #7 posted by JR Bob Dobbs on September 13, 2002 at 16:22:50 PT NRLE ad URL?

This morning, we took our opponents by surprise by launching the first wave of TV ads in Nevada. Please see http://www.NRLE.org to view the two ads and to make a donation so that we can afford to continue running them.The first ad features the state government's official explanation of what our initiative would do. It then concludes with the tag line: "In the privacy of a home, or under the care of a doctor, vote YES on Question 9."The second TV ad features people openly smoking marijuana in public, then explains that this kind of activity would remain banned under our initiative. We felt the need to demonstrate this because our opponents have been lying by saying that our initiative would let people smoke pot anytime, anywhere, all the time and everywhere. The ad goes on to explain that our initiative removes penalties for people who use marijuana in private, as well as giving patients greater access to medical marijuana. It shows images of a private home and a physician talking to a patient. The ad concludes with the same tag line as the first commercial.Why have we produced the first two ads in this way? Our campaign team has found that when Nevada voters understand what the initiative would actually do, they by and large support it. As a result, the purpose of the first round of ads is to provide solid information to the voters.We absolutely must have sufficient funding to run TV ads every day for the remaining eight weeks of this campaign. The next wave of ads we run will be hard-hitting and persuasive, explaining WHY Nevadans should vote for the initiative. Unfortunately, we do not currently have the money to do so. In truth, we will run out of money in about two weeks.We took the calculated risk of releasing the ads at this early stage in order to build momentum so that even if our opponents start running their own ads at a later date, they will not be able to overtake us because our message will already be firmly planted in the minds of the voters. (The handful of sheriffs and district attorneys who are speaking out against our initiative have not even formed an opposition campaign committee, which means they have yet to raise any money!)
