Should be that all the power resides at the state level with federal only taking care of the border, national defense and interstate roads that belong to the fed. Sununu thinks weed is the gateway to heroin and is very against legalizing. The thought at the state level is to sell and regulate like alcohol where the state is "in business" of sales and taxes from those sales.

Given the federal law the state can't go into the pot business and so is even more against it, despite the options to make millions in state revenue like our neighbors. Free market means nothing here in relation to pot. It's just sad that "live free or die" is only applicable when the state profits, and otherwise your freedoms should be limited in their eyes.
