Nevada Will Sell Pot for Fun and Profits
The Sagebrush state has begun selling marijuana for recreational purposes. It is one of five so far. Like Colorado, it hopes the sales generate an economic BOOM and encourages other states to do the same. In April alone, CO earned over $125 million from its pot sales.
Legalize it! I'm not a pot-user and will never be so why do I advocate this? The draconian drug laws in the US need reform. People should have greater control over their bodies. Alcohol and cigarettes cause greater damage...etc. Also, promoting the greater Hemp industry will result in a lot of beneficial new eco-friendly products.

I really hope the uk follows suit with regards to reforming drug law in the near future! The steps taken in the us are encouraging. I am a smoker, but live in fear of losing my job and getting a criminal record for using a plant! To me a joint on an evening is no different to the glass of wine that others can freely enjoy without repercussion.
