There are only 50 weeks left until Election Day in November 2006, and the Marijuana Policy Project is preparing to stun the country by passing the first ballot initiative to tax and regulate marijuana in any state â?? in Nevada.

[align=left]"We have been working in the state since 2001 and talking to Nevada people every day," says MPP's campaign manager, Neal Levine, in the article. The initiative "is based on what people have told us they would like to see. We talked to real people and have come up with a solution. People are going to use marijuana, regardless. The current laws don't work."[/align]

[align=left][/align]

[align=left]The initiative â?? which is already certified for Nevada's 2006 ballot â?? would remove all penalties for marijuana use by adults aged 21 and older, as well as create a system for the legal cultivation, distribution, and sale of marijuana to adults.[/align]

[align=left]Last January, MPP beat the Nevada state government in federal court to qualify our initiative for the November 2006 ballot. And now our top-notch staff is on the ground in Las Vegas, working to ramp up the high-profile campaign that we'll be launching early next year.[/align]

[align=left][/align]

[align=left]But we need your help. Please click here to help us mount the strongest campaign possible.[/align]

[align=left][/align]

[align=left]IF YOU HELP MPP PASS THE INITIATIVE, WE WILL MAKE HISTORY.[/align]

[align=left][/align]

[align=left]A win in Nevada would rock the nation ... and cause an avalanche of states to start repealing marijuana prohibition ... which would force Congress to repeal marijuana prohibition at the federal level.[/align]

[align=left][/align]

[align=left]Notably, our opposition is already gearing up against us. The White House drug czar's office even sent a letter of complaint to a University of Nevada student newspaper, warning that arguments for marijuana policy reform are nothing more than "ridiculous lies" from "drug enthusiasts."[/align]

[align=left][/align]

[align=left]The drug czar and his cronies are striking out because they know that public opinion is on our side ... and that we can win.[/align]

[align=left][/align]

[align=left]MPP'S ENTIRE CAMPAIGN MUST BE FUNDED BY PRIVATE DONATIONS.[/align]

[align=left][/align]

[align=left]With your help â?? and only with your help â?? Nevada could become the first state in the nation to end marijuana prohibition. Would you please make a generous donation to our campaign today?[/align]

[align=left][/align]

[align=left]On behalf of all of us at MPP, thank you in advance for anything you can do to help get the campaign off the ground.[/align]

[align=left]Sincerely,[/align]

Hopefully it passes! There's no reason why a person can't smoke a joint in the privacy of their own home! For once, nice post pissy!! :thumbsup:

the only problem with ending prohibition is preventing prohibition by default; corperate monopoly.

otherwise, we're set



as long as we can grow legaly, corperate monopoly and taxes are not an object.
