I heard about that Wednesday or Thursday morning, and the cops were already on the media saying something like, "those churches may have the best intentions, but they just don't understand how dangerous marijuana can be."

This state (NV) is so cop friendly that these churches' statements will be ignored.When the Drug Policy Alliance informally polled Nevada Police Chiefs and Sheriffs in 2002 they found a majority favored that years initiative.
After the DPA announced the results of their poll not a single one would would say publicly that he was in favor.
