Nevada pot ballot measure too close to call
By Colton Lochhead, Las Vegas Review-Journal
Nevadans are split when it comes to legalizing recreational marijuana use, according to a poll of 800 likely voters commissioned by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Forty-seven percent said they would vote “yes” on Question 2 on the Nov. 8 ballot, 46 percent opposed the measure, and 7 percent remained undecided, according to the poll.
The proposed measure would let Nevada join the likes of Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska in allowing the retail sale of marijuana to adults 21 years and older. It would also decriminalize the possession of less than 1 ounce of the drug.
