Carson City, NV (KRNV & MyNews4.com) — The Nevada Assembly Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing Friday morning on a bill to make marijuana legal for adults and establish a system in which marijuana is regulated and taxed similarly to alcohol.

A.B. 402, introduced by Assemblyman Joe Hogan (D-Las Vegas), would allow adults 21 and older to privately possess up to one ounce of marijuana and grow up to six marijuana plants in an enclosed, locked space.
