LAS VEGAS Sponsors of a Nevada ballot initiative to legalize marijuana asked a state court Thursday to stop elected officials and a police lieutenant from speaking against the measure.

The head of the Committee to Regulate and Control Marijuana says tax dollars shouldn't be used to tell people how to vote.

The committee backs Question Seven on the November seventh ballot.

The measure would make Nevada the first state to let adults possess up to an ounce of marijuana.

The group accuses all seven Clark County commissioners, six of 13 Nevada university regents, Washoe District Attorney Dick Gammick and a Las Vegas police lieutenant of violating state law prohibiting
campaigning on public time.

Clark County and Nevada System of Higher Education lawyers denied commissioners and regents broke the law.

They say elected officials have a right and a responsibility to talk about public issues in public.

That's crap. Cannabis is as illegal in Holland as it is in nearly every other country. Thing is, the government has decided not to do anything about distribution and posession of small
quantities of
grass. That's a different thing than is 'legal' cannabis.

It's a shorthand. In Holland there are shops where you can buy cannabis and neither you or the shops are raided.
That's legal enough for most people
