US NV: LEAP Looks To Make Marijuana Legal Across U.S.

Ely Times, 05 Apr 2013 – The legalization of marijuana is becoming a topic that is sweeping the nation. Washington and Colorado recently legalized marijuana use and several other states have or are looking into the issue as well. In Nevada, a bill introduced by Democrat Joe Hogan would allow residents 21 and older to own up to one ounce of marijuana for recreational use and up to six marijuana plants as well as taxing marijuana sales. The group Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) is hoping Nevada joins Washington and Colorado in the legalization of marijuana, though the group’s reasons may surprise you.
