legal marijuana in nevada?

75,000 signatures on a petition were enough to put the issue of legalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana on the ballot in Nevada. The measure calls for marijuana to be "sold in state-licensed shops and taxed like cigarettes and other tobacco products. A distribution system would also be set up to provide low-cost pot for medical uses." A major drawback to this petition-based ballot item is that marijuana possession is banned by federal law. I'm beginning to wonder what might be on the back of the Nevada quarter.
