Nevada, SB 262- 3 Steps Backwards If Passed

[resinryder]

The Nevada Legislature is taking up a bill to increase marijuana penalties, and they need to hear from you!
This Monday, March 30, the Senate Judiciary Committee will consider SB 262, a bill that will increase criminal penalties for marijuana cultivation. https://www.leg.state.nv.us/75th2009/opinions/Poll/index.cfm?drpMenuOne=705#EnterInfo
SB 262 will prescribe penalties for the cultivation of marijuana in greater amounts than is allowed for medical use. Among the penalties this bill will establish are one to four years in prison and a fine of $5,000 for possession of only one additional marijuana plant and one to four years and a fine of $5,000 for possession of marijuana for the purpose of sale.
In addition, this bill may subject anyone who cultivates, harvests, processes, or even dries marijuana to penalties for racketeering and immorality. These penalties may include criminal forfeiture, civil forfeiture, civil lawsuits, and imprisonment for 5-10 years.
With Nevada in such a dire financial situation, it is shocking that the state legislature would be spending their time debating a bill like this. Especially since 44% of Nevadans voted to opt out of marijuana prohibition entirely in November of 2006!
Thank you for supporting the Marijuana Policy Project and all of our allies. Please be sure to pass this alert along to everyone you know who lives in Nevada.
Sincerely,
Nathan Miller
Legislative Analyst

It amazes me at this day and age they would try to pull this crap. But I guess NV MMJ patients are easier to find, using a state registary list, than violent criminals are. This is being lobbied for by LVMPD who is using public dollars to push it.

F David Rodgers the lvmpd DA screw him and the LVMPD department oh oh yea almost forgot the #1 asshole sherrif Bill Gillispi <-- spell check fn decreaped ass lookn old man. ex sherrif Bill Young was much better Bill released the OJ tapes from the palace station because he was head of security there then. cannibis was also a low priority for him he came from sacremento was a captian there

ever since MMJ became law David Rodgers has taken apon himself to have a crusade against MMJ we need to evacuate his ass from office. no no vegas can have every other vice thats imoral or ilegal in other states but some MMJ we might as well be shooting herion. thats how LVMPD treats MMJ

every time MMJ or canibis has came up on the ballot i've voted for it including legalizing 3oz few yrs back. i even thought 3oz was kinda much i'd settle for 1 oz and gladly pay 50$ a oz tax

too bad we as nevada citizens cant have a vote on this eh

ever since the crack downs in cali started alot of fn commerical growers have moved here and over the hump in Parhump, has it's own task force to deal with growers

I agree with ya Major. Makes it more clear why they have been doing those grid fly overs lately. Also, lvmpd has a bill that will allow them to have the social security numbers of anyone who has water and power hookups in Nevada strictly for the purpose of identifying who is paying these bills at a grow house. Bout to get real tuff to grow pot in Nevada.

yep dont like the rodgers dude either i wish young was still around
jsut as i was thinking it was going to get eaiers i vegas for the mmj
rodgers comes around and screws stuff up
i guess its time to go shoot someone so i can get the jail time over with at least i wont be in as long
but in the scheme of things i dont grow enough pot to really worry about and i i grow for myself.i can only snitch on myself and thats no fun for them.and thou i can get busted and i know this i dont worry about it or make thing look diferntlly. i live life like anyone else
they should be looking for the grow houses here in vegas if they want to make thier money but even better the dui they can get out here would make las vegas rich and they can prove that without a doubt
let the laws be the laws i can only vote for what i belive in
and the rest will fall into place
i am going to do what i do
shit.... i have been breaking the law all my life why start now

david rodgers is up for re election in 2010 i believe lets vote his ass out of office, personally i've never voted for his ass. david rodgers is all of what 4ft10in maybe he has little man complex i watched him build his carrer on a very well knowen case in nevada.

jessica williams 04 - 05 i think she was driving home from mesquite nv, she was a dancer and done a priviate party out there. she fell asleep driving back to vegas and killed 6 kids cleaning the center divider of the main highway. she admitted taken E the night before and smoked some MJ few hrs before the accident. so driving back she fell asleep drove into the medium center of highway. where kids just happened to be cleaning trash from the road between both difections of traffic no warning signs no ppl working nothing just the kids in center of road cleaning. they where no more then 10 ft from speeding cars trucks and semi's doing min 75-80 mph. david rodgers was a deputy DA when he took this case the case went down shortly after we made MMJ legal in nevada so i watched every day every min of her trial. we as las vegas citizens must replace the current DA next election

so david rodgers had the sentencing setup as if jessica was found guilty of DUI. matter of fact she was found not guilty of driven under the influance but was still sentanced as if she was found guilty of DUI. she was sentanced to 48 yrs in prison she was 19 when she went in them kids had no bussiness being out there picking up trash for comunity service because thier parents couldnt pay fines the kids incurred. the kids should have been cleaning parks or painting graffiti not cleaning a major highway of trash sliver state disposol should hire workers for the job. drive no I15 and it looks like a city dump from just north of lamb blvd and I15 !!!

hope the powers to be see this bill for what its really for i witch hunt against MMJ and MJ
in nevada 1/4 oz was a felony and could bring 5-7 yrs. now 27 grams or less is gross misdameaner fine 600$

LOL, I really don't know why they send them. They just always have sent them for whatever reason.

 

[Maj.PotHead]

ok my fellow brotha and sisters since this thread has started i've been kinda trippn only because of the FN racketering shit. so i done some research tonight

http://www.leg.state.nv.us/75th2009/Reports/history.cfm?ID=705

hopefully my eyes tell me this bill is on the back burner for now, there was no action taken on the bill today

 

[resinryder]

The bill was just introduced to the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday. An introduction if you will to hear from the authors and a forum for and against from the public and other entities. Currently Nevada has no cultivation/manufacturing laws, just possession. It is the aim of this bill to change all that. 1 plant over med limits or a plant grown for personal use, plus dried weight penalty increases, for example, more than 1 ounce=intent to sell, under this new bill if passed into law will find you treated the same as the cartels. Racketeering, and crimes of immorality charges, whatever that means, and a slew of other felony charges will be filed along with fines and prison time.
Then they add on hazmat clean up charges. $$$$
This one is just getting started.

 

[itsaplant]

you can sign up for mpp and they send you notices from all over the us
i get at least 3 a week for update and such
hey pothead ...thanks for the knowledge on our so called leaders you gave me more insight of what is really going on as for i really dont have the time to keep up

 

[JackTheGrower]

When will it end?

Making tough laws so that the prison industry can grow. Because Marijuana is something the people want and will continue to have no mater what.

I don't know what the percentage of private prisons are there but something tells me your system could be active in filling them with non violent crimes to get the most federal dollars possible.

Law schmaw it's always about money. Someone has to be making a lot of money on this and it won't be John and Jane pot gardener

Prison is a growing industry. One of the few. Bet your guy has stock or something...
