MPP opens state chapter in Nevada!

We are proud to announce the opening of an official Nevada state chapter — the Marijuana Policy Project of Nevada (MPP-NV).

Headquartered in Las Vegas, MPP-NV will strive to provide Nevadans with scientifically and statistically accurate information about the harms caused by marijuana prohibition. Visit MPP-NV's new Web site — tool around and let us know what you think.

MPP-NV's ultimate goal is to end marijuana prohibition in the state entirely. Would you please consider donating $10 or more to help us as we work to build off the record-setting 44% of the vote we received in 2006 to end marijuana prohibition in Nevada? We have never been closer to ending this failed policy.

And not a moment too soon! Earlier this week, the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously passed SB 262, which seeks to increase the penalties associated with marijuana cultivation. To find out more about this ill-advised legislation and help defeat it, click here.

You can also help kill SB 262 by calling your state senator and urging him or her to vote "no" on this legislation.

Thank you for supporting the Marijuana Policy Project. Please be sure to forward this alert to anyone you know who might be interested in ending marijuana prohibition in Nevada.
