Nevada is going even further than Colorado by putting question 7 on the ballot in November's election. The following video summarizes what question 7 will accomplish:

Nevada will allow retailers to sell up to an ounce of marijuana in state-regulated outlets. Driving under the influence of marijuana, use of marijuana by minors, selling marijuana to minors and using marijuana in public would still be illegal.
I shouldn't be surprised that Nevada would be the most progressive. None of the other ballot measures go as far as allowing a legal supply of marijuana and it is wonderful to see that activists are fighting the drug war in such an effective way.
There is the predictable backlash from prohibitionists such as "all seven Clark County commissioners, six of 13 Nevada university regents, Washoe District Attorney Dick Gammick and Las Vegas police Lt. Stan Olsen".
In response, the Committee to Regulate and Control Marijuana is taking them to court for breaking a law that states that elected officials may not use tax dollars to oppose a ballot initiative. Read the whole story.
Just another reason to watch the November elections.
