Your idealist “NH would benefit, why don’t we?” Is both childish and obvious. Like I tell my 4yo, I would love to just “have” money. But unfortunately, it’s a bit more complicated.

Should we? Sure. Would it be awesome? Yes. Could we benefit? Hell yes.

BUT ARE WE GOING TO, AND DOES YOUR SINGULAR OPINION MATTER? FUCK NO IT DOES NOT.

I feel like I’m arguing with an entitled teenager. I get it, from your perspective, life would be so much cooler or accessible. Unfortunately, the adults have to work it all out before you can have your cookie.

I'm not sure why you had to reduce the conversation to name calling and insults. All I am saying is that I see a lot of potential benefits, the majority of NH residents want legalization, and the benefits of waiting until it can be run through the State Liquor stores makes little to no sense. The part where you said: "Should we? Sure. Would it be awesome? Yes. Could we benefit? Hell yes." is the whole argument, why waste time defending NH politicians who are actively blocking popular legislation which would undoubtedly increase tax revenues? My point this whole time has simply been that waiting for it to be Federally Legal so the state can Monopolize the marketplace via the Liquor Store model seems ill-conceived and in my opinion actually less desirable than the alternatives.
