US NV: Nevada Lawmaker To Introduce Bill Legalizing Marijuana

Las Vegas Sun, 15 Mar 2013 – CARSON CITY – Assemblyman Joe Hogan, D-Las Vegas, said his measure to legalize marijuana possession will be introduced in the Assembly on Friday, making Nevada the sixth state to consider decriminalizing pot. "We’ve wasted a tremendous amount of money spoiling teen-agers lives, chasing them around until we can arrest them for something," Hogan said. "And marijuana is not just a harmless plant. The medical benefits are remarkable."
