You fucking leave. You are not moving your hick ass from Canada to tell other people to leave. You fucking chud.

You think NH aligns with your political beliefs, so you move here, to tell others to leave. As a NH native, you better get fucking use to the progression, because this state is dying without. facepalm

And to stay on topic, Fuck NH for penalizing citizens, to then turn around to become the drug dealers themselves. It will happen. People will NOT forget that. Hypocrites.

The state wants to sell it, like they do liquor, for the $$$$ but can’t while it’s federally illegal. So it’ll remain illegal until then.

Go on...you can say it. It's greed. The state and the politicians of this state don't want to make it legal until they've found a way to line their own pockets with the profits. It's not like 23 other State/Territories have figured out a way to make it work without it being legal federally or anything....

RSN1968 t1_ivr1438 wrote

That has been my theory for a while as well. Once the state is allowed to sell it they’ll control the dispensaries and undercut the neighboring state prices. In the meantime it’s a pain in the ass for residents to drive across whatever border you’re closest to and buy it there.

Hutwe t1_ivq8mm9 wrote

According to this, New Hampshire doesn’t allow citizen driven ballot initiatives. The only two ways of getting this done are:

  1. Voting in favor of a Constitutional Convention (we just voted ‘No’ on this). Next chance is in 10 years.

  2. It has to be passed by 60% in both state legislatures and presented to the public an a constitutional amendment. This would require only voting in state senators & reps who are in favor of this.

Sad to say, I’m not confident either are likely any time soon, but that doesn’t mean much, and I’ve been wrong about things plenty of times before.

NHDraven t1_ivq7v4z wrote

In my opinion, NH will not legalize it until it's dropped from schedule 1 federally and the profits it generates are not at risk. At that time, they'll legalize it and sell it only at NH State Liquor stores. Legalization is a non-starter as long as Sununu is in office AND it's still on schedule 1 federally. Change either one of those, and we'll see it change in NH.

Nope you’re definitely wrong here, you can still make it legal for recreational use without touching that side of the sales part, which still would help prevent innocent people being punished and put in cages for a victimless crime.
