Nevada to vote on pot shops
RENO, Nevada (AP) -- Gambling, prostitution, and now pot? Organizers of a Nevada ballot measure hope voters in a state where almost everything goes will go one better and legalize marijuana.
If it passes November 7, Nevada will be the first state to allow adults to possess up to an ounce of pot that they could buy at government-regulated marijuana shops.
The Committee to Regulate and Control Marijuana, which has pushed medical marijuana and decriminalization laws around the country, thinks Nevada -- with its embrace of certain vices and its streak of Western independence -- is a perfect venue

nevada is gonna make a sh1tload of money from taxing it. they should legalize it here too. the people who smoke it are gonna smoke it no matter what, might as well make some money off of them. 
It might even be beneficial to pot smokers because the prices should go down because of the availability of pot.

Alaska has had a law for years where if you're 19+ you can have up to 4oz on your person. but even if the new NV law passes, you can still get in trouble due to federal drug laws.
Whats funny is that a lot of people are fighting it here, because its aparently seen as 'very wrong'
In a place that allows gambling and prostitution, they think a little weed is wrong? Imagine all the tax revenue from the 7-11's alone!

Thats about all they can do though. FBI doesn't patrol the streets looking for potheads. They only deal with the larger 'busts'

i wonder what the price's would be like compared to street prices now. if the govt is cheap enough, they could essentially put illegal dealers out of business, or make it not as worth it to deal. in theory anyways.
what im getting at is unless the feds raid the govt controlled shops, or start patrolling the streets...... it could work.
The feds could still go after "legal" dealers. Just because the state makes it legal doesn't prevent the feds from going after people breaking federal laws (i.e. the federal government can raid state sponsored shops, and charge the store owners and/or the state with posession and sale).
