I have never tried cannabis, and I have no interest, and have no intention of ever trying it. My neighbors are regular users, and they get their supplies from Massachusetts.

So taking things from a pragmatic perspective, I just hate to see a potential revenue stream go to Massachusetts instead of New Hampshire.

I frequent a few dispensaries in Maine and the parking lots are always like 80% new Hampshire license plates

Even being a medical card holder in this state is a joke. The prices are highway robbery. Take a drive up to Maine and everything is half the price. NH is just hemorrhaging money to every neighbor state. It's honestly pathetic.

Boomer here (with regard to weed). Can you just up and drive to a store in Maine and buy it? No medical card or proof of residence?

According to the fourteenth amendment, you’re granted all privileges and immunities of the state you’re visiting :D

Yes certain dispensaries are Adult Use / Recreational as well as Medical. Not all, but many

VT's getting in on the act too. A whole bunch have been opening up on the I-91 corridor.

Pretty much the mirror of the NH state liquor stores. Your weed store on one side of the river, liquor store on the other.

We make up for some of the revenue loss with flavored tobacco and flavored vape juice. I don't care if they legalize it, but I do wish they would enforce smoking it and driving.

I got all downvotes when I suggested NH legalize paint thinners and other solvents that I can buy in MA, ME and VT. Y'all are racist against me having a clean bathtub. Well guess the fuck what I used xylene I bought in Mass to strip off the paint job I messed up and it looks FANTASTIC now.

I'm holding a grudge on this. Let me buy my industrial solvents in state or I will badger my reps to ban the devils cabbage. I don't care if it's illegal I just beak the law. whoop de do.

And while we're at it I also want strychnine. I don't know what for yet but I want it.

Maybe try using cannabis oil to remove paint?

Next time I will try it but I have my doubts usually you want the opposite of oil for this stuff. It was enamel paint that doesn't come off easy not fucking watercolors.

All kidding aside, I understand your frustration, and it hits a very important point. I’m also sorry that you are picking up a lot of downvotes.

So we elect people to office, they get the idea that a law should be created - but they may not look very deeply into the matter, and their reasons for pushing for a law may not be based upon facts and evidence. In your particular case it is fair to ask if the solvents you use are really causing a problem, and if so, what are the options?

Problem or not the fact remains that I can go buy them in any neighboring state just like people do with weed. I don't use such solvents very much but I was astonished that they're not available in NH and just a handful of other states like California.
