I just received this message from MPP a few minutes ago, I edited it for length ... :smokin:

The Marijuana Policy Project's initiative to tax and regulate marijuana in Nevada was defeated last night by a 44% to 56% margin.

While this is a huge disappointment to all of us, more than four in 10 Nevada voters actually voted to end marijuana prohibition entirely. This is huge progress since the 39% to 61% defeat of a similar ballot measure in Nevada four years ago.

This year's attempt in Nevada was only the sixth time that anyone has attempted to pass a statewide ballot initiative to end marijuana prohibition in a state; the other attempts were in California in the early 1970s, Oregon in 1986, Alaska in 2000 and 2004, and Nevada in 2002.

Although we didn't win yesterday, the results demonstrate the voters' increasing willingness to reconsider our nation's marijuana laws. And we achieved this strong finish despite intense campaigning by the White House drug czar's office and the entire law enforcement establishment in Nevada.

The fact that we came close to victory while up against such powerful opposition is remarkable. And we're not giving up: We'll be back in Nevada to try again with another marijuana initiative in November 2008 or, more likely, in November 2010. The drug czar will keep trying to frighten people with lies, and we'll keep telling the truth, and eventually the truth will win.

They need to do it again next year.
And again the year after if they don't win, and continuously.
The longer it remains on the ballot, the longer people get it in their heads that their stupid brainwashed veiws are being challenged by HALF THE PEOPLE in their state, the more possible this initiative will be.
fuckkkkk.... 44 percent! We needed 7% more! thats it!

[Tha Ish]

It will win in due time....I mean look at cigs and beer for that matter at least bud is natural.:stoned:

[Markass]

It's natural, and rather than spending our tax dollars to jail people and struggle to prevent individuals from growing a harmless plant in soil, they estimated they could make $28 million dollars a year from the taxes of it. I think it will pass. It was very close this time and definately will not decrease in time.

seems like california is overdue for such an initiative.
I think we could approve it.
