Reply to comment by Trailwatch427 in Dr. Tom Sherman vows to legalize weed by Final_Act6703

It's no different from any other single issue voter. Gun rights, abortion, etc

It's silly for it to be illegal.

Basically they are just saying you shouldn't strongly care about things that will prevent you from voting for the candidate they like.

Vote for or against truly substantive issues supported or opposed by candidates. In NH, the booze lobby is so strong, and people are old and conservative, and most have never enjoyed cannabis. Whereas, people in Mass no matter their age, enjoy cannabis. At least more of them than in NH. Vote for candidates who are progressive overall. Maybe they aren't as progressive as Bernie, but geez, to support a shithead like Bolduc because his opponent doesn't support cannabis is ridiculous.

So, will you DIE if you don't get legal cannabis? What if you had a miscarriage, and couldn't get medical treatment? Women in the middle of miscarrying are being denied medical care in states where abortion is illegal. Women are in danger of dying from infections. Ten year old rape victims are denied abortions--even if when their own father rapes them. Maybe that is cool, right? Maybe you think it is okay for a ten year old girl to have her dad's baby.

Equating abortion rights (and gun control) to legalizing cannabis is bizarre. It's silly to think legalizing cannabis is such a critical issue. Like, do really worry that you will be arrested for it? When women are being threatened with jail time, death penalty--for having an abortion?

Yeah, but that's not happening in new hampshire. Who we vote doesn't help the south. That's purely just virtue signaling and whataboutism.
