The resolution requires a copy to be sent to the Vice President, the Speaker of the House, and each member of the Nevada Congressional Delegation. The ACLU of Nevada praised the legislature's intent, stating that cannabis has medical value and does not belong on Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act. The Delaware Senate also approved a similar resolution in March, while Congress is expected to reintroduce comprehensive cannabis legalization legislation.
