Police support pot initiative
The Marijuana Policy Project's initiative campaign in Nevada has done the impossible: They have secured the endorsement of the Nevada Conference of Police and Sheriffs, the largest police association in Nevada. They represent about 65 percent of the state's street patrol officers and they voted 9-0 to support the proposed constitutional change that would decriminalize possession of up to three ounces of marijuana . . . "As a former law-enforcement officer, I know that a simple marijuana arrest takes me off the street for half my shift," said NCOPS president Andy Anderson today as he announced his organization's ground-breaking endorsement. "Passage of Question 9 will ensure that more cops are on the streets to protect our citizens from violent crime and the threat of terrorism."
