MARIJUANA FORUM TO BE TELEVISED

A public forum on the statewide ballot question to decriminalize possessing
a small amount of marijuana will be televised from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday
on Channel 16 in Reno.

The forum, hosted by the Nevada secretary of state, will feature
representatives on both sides of the issue. Viewers will be able to
telephone and e-mail live questions to the representatives.

Nevada voters will decide Nov. 5 whether the state should decriminalize the
possession of less than 3 ounces of marijuana after Nevadans for
Responsible Law Enforcement gathered enough signatures for a successful
citizen initiative petition.
