...says the guy who lives where **31** is legal... 
Actually, **31** is only legal in counties with less than 400,000 people per Nevada state law. That means that Clark county ( Las Vegas ) and Washoe county ( Reno ) **31** is not legal. The other counties, such as Nye or Lincoln next to Clark county, it is legal if the residents of that county allow it. It is seen as a economic developmental tool that each county, where the state allows it, can use to keep unemployment down for example. If it was up to me, I would legalize it everywhere in the state and tax it like any other industry. We need cops investigating murder cases, not what consenting adults do in the sack. My $0.02.
