OPED: GOV. SANDOVAL OPPOSES QUESTION 2

I oppose Question 2, the measure on the ballot to approve recreational
use and possession of certain amounts of marijuana.

Historically, in response to criminal justice and health issues,
Nevadans have given marijuana policy a thoughtful and careful
examination. Policy makers have reduced penalties for possession of
small quantities of the drug and built a framework for legal
distribution of medical marijuana to patients who have a
recommendation from a licensed physician.

Now, Question 2 asks Nevadans to legalize marijuana for recreational
use. We should vote no on Question 2 for many reasons.
