The state wants to sell it, like they do liquor, for the $$$$ but can’t while it’s federally illegal. So it’ll remain illegal until then.

That’s my take at least. I don’t like it by any means but I’ve convinced myself this is the case

Go on...you can say it. It's greed. The state and the politicians of this state don't want to make it legal until they've found a way to line their own pockets with the profits. It's not like 23 other State/Territories have figured out a way to make it work without it being legal federally or anything....

That has been my theory for a while as well. Once the state is allowed to sell it they’ll control the dispensaries and undercut the neighboring state prices. In the meantime it’s a pain in the ass for residents to drive across whatever border you’re closest to and buy it there.

I hear the same thing about liquor but I keep seeing it cheaper in Massachusetts. I think if NH starts to sell it themselves it won’t be that much cheaper than it is else where.

not really. Only for a first offense and for a small amount.

3 offenses before it's a misdemeanor.

More than 3/4 oz. Get 3/4 oz and call it a day. You can get caught up to three times and it will be only an infraction, not a misdemeanor.
