Trust me, it's not the House. These bills pass the House, it's the Senate and the Governor blocking this.

They want to tie it into the alcohol monopoly and have the State controlling cannabis too. But advocates like me are trying to open the state to private business and use tax revenues to help pay for education which in turn would lower property tax obligations.

The fight is with the Senate and Sununu. They need to stop sucking off the Police Chiefs Union and stop trying to restrict free enterprise in an emerging market.

Just remember, politicians don’t give a fuck about YOU. They are there to make money for themselves and their friends.

Until politicians fear disappointing their constituents, nothing will change.

Enough Dems and Reps alike have wanted to legalize it in the recent past, Sunono stood in the way. Fortunately, he seems to be just a bit softening lately. There might be hope.

Shouldn’t we want to be able to run business that sell cannabis, since we the citizens have been marginalized against and not allowed to do, being threatened with jail, financial fines, revocation of property and assets, etc.

Why has there been private research finally being done (no public research because it’s scheduled the same as heirion ((lsd)) that proves medicinal properties when taken in moderation then?

Do you think sununu, a man (& his family) who is deeply invested in ski mountains and tourism in New Hampshire should pass at the opportunity to pass this legislative. No any sane person would jump at the bit for this bill if they were invested in those industries, it makes me question his true motives for why he hasn’t made a move for legalization, like his potential desire to run for president one day? And maybe just clinging to the pockets of serval potential big pharma donors. It’s the only thing I could make logical sense of, ski mountains love smokers, legalized states LOVE smokers coming for tourism, make it make sense.

There are studies showing the benefits of psilocybin (magic mushrooms) used to treat mental health issues. I'm not smart enough to try self dose appropriately, but I would certainly like to try it in a controlled situation. I guess my point is that it's not all bad.

It could just be taxed in private stores like other states handle it. We really don't need the state running things like they do the liquor stores. (Note, I'm generally happy with the state liquor store prices and selection but not the distribution of stores. And getting some unique brands is not possible here. I don't see the advantage to NH running consumer businesses.)

I'm with you. Luckily I work in MA so i just stop at the dispensary on my way home from work. It's fucking ridiculous that I'm giving all this money to MA when it could benefitting NH.

Federal legalization so they can sell it like they sell liquor.

it is seen as a gateway legislation.

sure pot is innocuous.

but other states who legalized pot, and now legalizing Magic Mushrooms and LSD too. substances one could argue are actually very dangerous to ingest.
