POLITICS, POT AND POWER

[snip]

Why do the people supporting Question 9 continually tell us it will allow
for the medical use of marijuana? We already have a law that provides for
the medical use of marijuana. That law was made possible by an amendment to
the Nevada Constitution, a change that I and a majority of Nevadans supported.

Even the explanation of Q 9 tells voters, "The proposed amendment to the
Nevada Constitution would amend sections of the Nevada Constitution that
currently authorize the use of marijuana for medical purposes." (emphasis
added)

What Q 9 goes on to do is expand the legal use of marijuana far beyond
medical use. It can bring it into every home no matter how big or small the
family. This is why many Nevadans, who supported medical use, have become
opponents of Q 9.

If Q 9 fails, and it should, the use for medical purposes will remain legal.

The proposed expansion of legalizing marijuana can only add to the health
and safety problems already too plentiful in our state and nation.
