While airwaves and column inches may still be on a post-convention buzz, the presidential campaigns are not the only ones kicking into high gear. Supporters of Question 2, the ballot initiative that would legalize and tax adult recreational marijuana use in Nevada, are amping up their efforts in advance of November 8.
“It’s an issue that everyone is aware of and a lot of people have an opinion on,” says Joe Brezny, spokesman for the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol. “Our work now is to organize the folks who have been supporters for years and build coalitions with support groups. We’ve had groups of veterans, groups of former law enforcement officers and even a group of schoolteachers come to the table and say they realize regulation is a better way.”
