It's a shame. Nevada's tourism would have gone way up if they passed this measure. I know several people who have never been to Vegas, who would go in an instant if they could get high legally. I'm not into it anymore myself (can't play good VP when under the influence of anything), but it would have been way cool.
Blessings and royals to all.

It's a shame. Nevada's tourism would have gone way up if they passed this

I was not shocked it failed to pass, but I was surprised by
how badly it failed. I doubt we will see this come back to the
voters any time soon because of the large margin of defeat.
This is an idea whose time has come. I'm not saying it would
work out. These things can easily have unforseen consequences.
Nevertheless, the potential upside is so tremendous that it would
be worth the risk. If Nevada cannot pass such an act, I doubt
any other state could. I suspect that the large number of retirees
who now reside in the state, the poeple who are the least likely to
be affected by the law, are the reason it was failed. Most people
over a certain age (maybe 50 or so) just seem to be mentally stuck
in the 1950's. They got it in their heads that drugs are evil, marajuana
is just another drug, and then the turned off their brains. Maybe in
10 years or so when they die off or simply don't get out to vote we
will see this work. I believe (hope) that this mindset is not so common
among those who were born after 1950.
QZ
I am surprised it failed - I figured people would rather have it
legalized and controlled than to have it being hidden and sold for
high prices out of people's home.
I don't live in Nevada but I was watching to see what would happen.
Does nevada allow it for medicinal reasons - like California?
prescribed by a doctor for cancer patients, etc...?

One day the people of this country will wise up to the fact that the war on drugs is not working and we are wasting tons of money keeping non-violent offenders in prison. You would have think people learned that during Prohibition, but some folks are slow learners.
Meanwhile, I'll just stick to the legal vice of gambling.
