NEVADA KEEPS MARIJUANA ON BALLOT

CARSON CITY, Nev. -- The secretary of state's office says a question on
medical marijuana will stay on Nevada's Nov. 7 ballot despite a U.S.
Supreme Court ruling that bars a California club from dispensing pot to
sick people.

Chief Deputy Secretary of State Donald Reis said the 7-1 Supreme Court
decision wasn't a final ruling on the issue.

Reis added that the court may have to decide which laws take
precedence: state laws allowing medical marijuana or federal laws
prohibiting any use of marijuana.

Two years ago, 59 percent of Nevada's voters approved the medical
marijuana question, one similar to that passed in California in 1996.

But unlike California, the Nevada Constitution requires ballot
questions to be approved at two consecutive elections before they take
effect.
