Don't worry, it'll die in either the Senate or on Sununu's desk.

well if the senate has a similar ratio; and it dies on Sununu's desk, the veto would be overridden easily. And who knows, this bill doesn't involve creating established distribution, so it may be different.

I'm all for it, but I've been let down too many times.

Senate has a bunch of “But the children…” legislators, of both parties, I’m guessing, the majority stodgy Republicans to boot.

And that sentiment is ironic for so many reasons..

It was passed with a veto proof majority two years ago and two senators flipped to not override the veto.

They were Manchester democrats, and the Manch PD gets a lot of federal funding to fight the opioid crisis that they wouldn’t qualify for if it was passed, apparently.

So.. yeah.

CoreCivic Sununu you mean? Mr. $20k bribe from the private prison industry.

True, but at some point the State will want to monetize cannabis. The surrounding states are making a killing in tax revenue. I gotta believe some of that comes from folks switching away from alcohol, or at least cutting back. Some NH folks must be going out of state for their cannabis. That’s lost revenue for NH.
