It boils down to an even more nefarious intent: Our rulers are still keeping pot ILLEGAL until they can figure out how to MAKE THE MOST MONEY FROM IT, not only for the government, but for THEMSELVES

Something illegal should be WRONG, not illegal because money can't be capitalized.

We are nothing but open wallets to our rulers.

This. I wanted to say something about how legalizing pot and making millions off regulating the industry while people rot in jail for selling on the street is unspeakably evil. I don’t do any recreational drugs and never have been a user, but I wholeheartedly support legalization- if it comes with justice for the non-violent “offenders” that formed the demand and client base in the first place.

The only reason it hasn’t been legalized is they can’t pay state employees legally to sell it until it’s legalized federally. This was made abundantly clear last year. So NH will never legalize it recreational until it’s legalized federally OR if a loophole is put in the alleged upcoming federal marijuana banking reform.

Edit: if if they do legalize it I’m still not paying $380 an oz when I can get it for $140 from Maine.

Horse shit. The State doesn't have to be in the pot business at all...just like it doesn't need to be in the liquor business.

Liquor would still be legal if we had privately owned liquor stores.

There is ZERO reason to not legalize so people could grow, harvest and sell privately except for MONEY. money for the State and those in power.
