An Interfaith Drug Policy Initiative in Nevada gets 32 churches--"mostly in Las Vegas and Reno, includes Christians and Jews, mainline denominations and several black churches"--to come out in favor of the state's Question 7 ballot initiative, which would legalize marijuana possession, use, and transfer for over-21-year-olds (and under an ounce of the weed).

I heard about that Wednesday or Thursday morning, and the cops were already on the media saying something like, "those churches may have the best intentions, but they just don't understand how dangerous marijuana can be."
