Weed is straight up one of the few things both sides in NH agree on (save hardcore social conservative types)

It's an embarrassment that prohibition has lasted this long. Too many people have a hard time with the idea that there is a difference between legal and good, and that attempting to discourage something by making it illegal can make things worse.

It's fucking terrifying how many adults do not understand that legality ≠ morality

Sununu doesn't agree and he's the only one that matters

He has said stuff to the effect of "waiting for the right time and the correct procedures," meaning everyone suspects the state wants to make sure they can control the sale of cannabis just like liquor lol

Ya, it's sad...booze is fine tho, who needs a liver anyway? Even my hard-core Conservative friends have come over to the pot side so we gotta just stay on Sununu. Remind him of his 'let's see how MA does' comment & how well it did.

It’s pretty bananas how big of a difference I felt when I made the switch, alcohol is fucking poison man. Kind of wild our state is so proud to have nationalized the peddling of something so damaging.

Except for politicians. A few old Democrats, DINOs, and too many GOPers are dragging their feet.

Every republican in NH that I've seen quotes from on the subject has spouted the same "it's a gateway drug" bullshit that we've been hearing forever. They've got big "live free or die" energy until it's about something they don't give a shit about and suddenly it's "there's a slight risk that something bad might happen, better safe than sorry".
