You’re going to jail.

Someone went barreling around a school bus on the right into a crowd of kids when I was a kid. They must have been distracted and didn't notice the bus had stopped.

No shit.

Exactly

Completely disagree.

I don’t believe it’s a secret at all. I think it’s completely obvious. You surely can’t expect them to flat out say this.

I think it’s a pretty reasonable inference to conclude that they need/want to be able to treat it like state liquor so the state can get the benefits of all of the money instead of just taxes.

But I guess it could be as you say. It just seems so much more clear to me the other way.

I know that's their plan and I hate monopolies, let people grow their own plants + allow small dispensaries to exist.

I'll keep saying it until proven wrong, nh is waiting for it to become nationally legal, so they can add it to nh liquor stores and monopolize it. Then they will down out all the shops just outside the border, and then make a ton of money. But they won't be able to do that if it's still federally illegal.

Safety? Riddle me this. What percentage of duis in the state come from alcohol purchased at state run liquor stores

I haven’t been living there for a while, but I always avoid all the parks at night. Never had any trouble. Trust your street senses. If your brain tells you not to go down that street, don’t go.

Manchester is pretty safe. It gets nicer north of Bridge Street and much nicer North of Webster.

There are little gems in the “tree streets area” so don’t be intimidated to venture off elm.

We moved here from Boston recently because my wife grew up in the city and bought a great house in the North End, which is great

Nobody should be suprised by this...its the same old song and dance....instead we'll keep forking over millions of dollars to our neighboring states and keep increasing property tax to subsidies increasing expenses...🤦‍♂️

I've had pleasant experiences in VT, ME, and MA myself.

Since at least 1988, according to the notes in the SAF-C doc linked from DMV's site.

Booo

You're not going to get a ticket dude.

To be fair, 30 years ago it was “crazy” fringe to be for legalization. And 20 years ago it was still fringe. Even 10 years ago a solid majority opposed legal weed- it was just not a policy position worth sticking one’s neck out for.

Then Colorado changed everything.

But yeah, nh has had a solid 10 years to get their shit together.

Maine is really the only good quality for a good price in New England at the moment

Wait NH uses a demerit point system now?

Thank you for the Dancing Lion Chocolate mention! We re-open on Tuesday after a much-needed rest.

I live and work in Manchester. I used to live and work in Los Angeles. Manchester's a pretty safe city.

According to this it's "downtown Manchester"

This comes up every time, and I find it extremely dubious. I like the idea of the state selling, I just really, really doubt it is the reason it is not recreationally legal here. It is not legal here as Sununu and Hassan personally vetoed recreational legalization legislation every time it came across their desks. To hear Sununu talk, weed is a gateway drug given that he will bring up the opioid crisis every time this comes up. There is zero sign that he is waiting on federal legalization so it can be sold in state liquor stores.

Legalization has never had a veto proof majority, because our State House heavily favors out of touch retirees. I give it zero chance that the people regularly voting against recreational legalization are secretly waiting for it to become legal federally. Instead I think the 40~ish percent of the state legislatures that are against it are against it for far less forward-looking reasons, probably more knee-jerk anti-drug votes

Wow that makes a lot of sense, I never thought of it that way before. At first I was like “good, sell it at the liquor stores!” But you’re absolutely right, even though the feds don’t enforce it normally, they can’t be having state government employees knowingly breaking a federal law
