Reply to comment by [deleted] in Bipartisan coalition advancing legislation to legalize recreational cannabis in NH - hopes of ending the Granite State’s status as an island of recreational cannabis prohibition by AMC4x4

The proposed legislation explicitly does not put it under the liquor control board, and instead enables private retail and production facilities:

"If adopted, the law would create a private marketplace for cannabis sales and focus on low taxation. Marijuana would be taxed at the current meals-and-rooms tax rate of 8.5 percent, with proceeds going toward unmet pension obligations across the state and drug education and prevention, according to Egan."
