NH has been holding out for federal legalization because they want to control sales the way they do liquor.

Can't mandate you get your weed from state weed stores if weed is still federally illegal, and they aren't about to let all that money go anywhere but the states pocket.

They've lost so much revenue over the past 4 or 5 years, maybe they're finally realizing how stupid they've acted. (just kidding. that's never going to happen)

Fine, he probably will, but the point is that NH isn’t holding out for retail pot at state stores, some politicians keep blocking legalization, for whatever reason they have. Sununu, and Hassan before him, are just stuck in Drug War idiocy.

Nuts to me that a state that trips so hard over it’s own dick trying to be “pro business,” is also largely fine with this level of Chinese-style state capitalism.

Privatize and legalize imo
