Governor vetoes, news at 11.

I don't think it will get past the senate.

It depends.

The prime sponsor of last year's MJ bill that passed the House and got killed in the Senate is now in the Senate. A lot of those old senators are gone. There is still that ancient dude from Manchester in there who came out firmly against it last year. Lou Dala..something. Also Sharon Carson's worthless ass.

IMO there might be enough new blood in the Senate.

I think that it’s good that this one will not pass. Home growing is illegal and cannabis is expensive. Wait till new governor comes in then send a bill that actually helps the people.

That's not a bad take. We're surely in for a dem governor next.

The last two Dem governors opposed cannabis legalization. Many of those in the Senate who oppose legalization are Dems. The issue consistently gets majority support of both Republicans and Democrats in the House. This really isn't a partisan issue in NH. Also, the whispers I hear is that Sununu will sign it if it gets to his desk (he wants to be prez and is pushing the "liberty governor" angle) but he doesn't want to take the risk of going on record supporting it as long as the Senate protects him from having to. Senate remains the roadblock here, but there's reason to believe this year the mix will be more favorable. We'll see.
