Committee to Regulate and Control Marijuana (CRCM) wants to pass Nevada Ballot Question No. 7 on November 7th
The
Committee to Regulate and Control Marijuana (CRCM) submitted an initiative to the Nevada Legislature that would have regulated and taxed marijuana within the State of Nevada, but the Legislature refused to pass it and so its proposal went onto the November 7, 2006, Nevada ballot as
State Question No. 7, which asks Nevada voters:
"Shall Titles 32, 40 and 43 of the Nevada Revised Statutes be amended in order to allow and regulate the sale, use and possession of one ounce or less of marijuana by persons at least 21 years of age, impose licensing requirements on marijuana retailers and wholesalers, allow for the sale of marijuana by licensed marijuana retailers and wholesalers, impose taxes and restrictions on the wholesale and retail sale of marijuana, and to increase the criminal penalties for causing death or substantial bodily harm when driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol?"

On October 27, 2006, the
