Just a quick FYI
Nevada has already voted on whether or not to legalize pot. This must be accopmlished via a constitutional amendment in NV. The voters of NV shot down the proposal 61% to 39%. Many of the campaigns against resorted to pointing out that many of our criminals are locked up for drug related crimes. They never made too much of a mention as to how much it costs or how miniscule the crime was compared to the punishment. If you haven't read "Reefer Madness" by Eric Schlosser, I suggest you do...right now!
You can look at the whole Nevada legalization story and get a massive amount of information with a simple Google search. It is scheduled to come up for a vote again in 2006 (this time with some changes to appease the fence-riders) provided the petition got enough signatures. I will be voting for legalization again. Just so you know, Nevada is a fairly conservative state usually made up of older republicans and fairly coservative Democrats. There is a new wave of libertarian-minded voters (of which I am a part) who just don't seem to know that the Libertarian party exists.
I agree with the legalization of pot and will be voting for it again.
