Reply to comment by quaffee in How can I help New Hampshire legalize recreational weed? by cat-gun

Why even give the people the opportunity if you don’t have too. Doing nothing is perfect. Once it goes federally legal, the NH gov will start making decisions real quick!

I don't really understand your comment. Give people what opportunity?

My point would be recreational cannabis is not going to happen because all the lawmakers won’t let it happen until it’s federally legal. It’s too much of a Wild West out there, look at Massachusetts. The NH gov is going to drag their feet until they are in a position to take over the entire cannabis market in NH…like the liquor stores. So to answer your question, there is little to nothing you can do to push Rec cannabis in the granite state. Unless you can become governor or win a seat in the NH gov.
Even then you would have little chance. There is too much money to be had and the NH gov isn’t going to let it’s citizens in on it.

Well let's hope you're wrong. I understand where you're coming from though. Like many pro-legalization folks I see this as a justice, cognitive sovereignty and health issue. Whereas our lawmakers only seem to see 💲💲.

I hope I’m wrong as well. More than anything but the cynic in me says follow the money.
