The 2016 U.S. election will decide one of the most talked-about races in national history. Locally, Nevadans have important decisions to make with regard to local races, as well as on multiple ballot measures, including voting on Question 2, which would legalize marijuana for adults and put the tax revenue from the sale of the drug toward education funding.

There are many reasons to vote Yes on Question 2. If Question 2 passes, marijuana would be legal in Nevada for adults ages 21+. It would create jobs, approximately 6,200 for Nevadans. The passage of Question 2 would also generate $1.1 billion in overall economic activity, including $60 million in annual tax revenue and approximately $20 million, per year, for Nevada schools. With regulated, licensed businesses, Question 2 would help to create safer communities by replacing a dangerous criminal market.
