LAS VEGAS â On Wednesday, December 9, the Marijuana Policy Project of Nevada (MPP-NV) will make a major announcement about its intentions in the state in the coming years. Dave Schwartz, manager of MPP-NV, will make the announcement at a press conference in front of the Clark County Government Center at 11:00 am. While the specific details of the organizationâs plan will not be revealed until Wednesday, Schwartz has hinted that a ballot measure to tax and regulate may be in the stars.
âResidents of this great state know we have been pushing for more sensible marijuana laws in this state for some time now,â said Schwartz prior to the press conference. âWe are excited to be launching the next step in this journey and look forward to working with supporters all across Nevada. For too long, we have accepted laws that allow adults to use alcohol freely, but punish them if the choose to use a less harmful substance, marijuana. Our marijuana laws simply donât make sense and it is time to enact a new system.â
