"They tried to pass this 2 years ago I believe and it failed miserably."
SH: The initiative in Nevada in 2004 called for legalization of 3ounces. Question 7 only calls for one ounce.
Best part of 2004 debate was the National Family Association holding a press conference where they displayed a Ziploc freezer bag with 287 joints which they claimed they rolled out of one ounce of parsley.
That's less than 1/10 of a gram per joint, which is at least a 5x reduction of any normal doobie size I've ever encountered.
Not sure which was more pathetic - the hyperbolic exxageration of the NFA or the idea that a group of their people sat around a table for a couple hours rolling parsley doobies.

Pot Proponents Shouting Down Governor
Rally Against Amendment 44 Gets Heated
DENVER -- A rally at the state Capitol on Friday morning got out of hand as it deteriorated into a shouting match between the groups for and against a proposed amendment that would legalize small amounts of marijuana in Colorado.
Gov. Bill Owens and the state's top law enforcement officers planned a press event to urge voters to turn down Amendment 44, which would legalize adult possession of one ounce of marijuana.
Supporters of pot legalization tried to shout them down.
"You say drink, we say no," the group chanted loudly.
Members of the group SAFER, who believe it should be legal to possess less than an ounce of marijuana, angrily denounced the governor and the amendments opponents.
They argue that alcohol is much more dangerous than pot and believe the state's law enforcement priorities are out of whack.
However, as they tried to shout down the governor and other speakers, things got a little testy and the governor became visibly angry.
"I am very concerned. And if you really want to see the difference, look at the men and women who were with me up here today, and then look at who is out here yelling at us, not allowing us to speak. It is very concerning," Owens said.
Proponents of Amendment 44 brought out Seattle's former police chief to speak on the issue, arguing in favor of legalizing marijuana, but his presence was overshadowed by the raucous events.

they always do this and overestimate or underestimate everything in their favor....
Imagine if you could get 10 joints per gram? loluppy:
when I was a kid, I was popped with about 5 grams of hash worth about 40CDN....
the cops told my parents I had 30 grams, worth 3000$ LMAO!
You can roll about 60 joints per ounce if it is rags.
A friend of mine rolled up a whole ounce worth in about 15 minutes. I filled my humidor with these. What a beautiful sight. They didn't last as long as you would think though. We were pot rich and smoking them like this round head below

But that is a different issue altogether. That was decided based on privacy rights.
This has nothing to do with that. I don't think it's clear that the law would be thrown out when challenged. Certainly shouldn't be.
Under an oz is already legal in Denver under city law (due to last years vote that passed), but they can still charge people under state law (they have better things to do for the most part).
If it's legal under state law, there is no way in hell that the federal courts would consider taking on a $100 pot ticket. It ain't happening-even with Bush in office.
