Nevada Police Back Legalizing Pot
I saw this fine story on Skippy the Bush Kangaroo's site. Nevada's largest police organization has endorsed a state ballot initiative that would let adults legally possess small amounts of marijuana.
The board of the Nevada Conference of Police and Sheriffs, a 3,000-member group that represents about 65 percent of the state's street patrol officers, voted 9-0 on Tuesday to support a change in the state constitution that would decriminalize possession of up to three ounces of marijuana.
Let's hope this ruling is contagious and that other states soon follow Nevada's lead. For medical reasons or for personal use, I say, why not? [via:guardian.co.uk]
