From what I understand, I’ve read some things where Sununu is actually for legalization. But he wants a set up like the state liquor stores. And in order for that to happen, weed would have to be legal on a federal level. This way the state would receive all the profits from selling weed.

100% as long as it’s not federal legal, this won’t happen in NH.

I’m so glad I’m 10min from Tyngsborough lol

Rise in dracut is my new go to. Tyngsboro sucks compared to pretty much everywhere else. Prices are way higher, not much selection. Parking in that tiny lot is atrocious.

Just move to Maine. Literally everybody I know that isn’t willing to perpetuate the criminality of it. I’m not spending my money on criminals, im not breaking the law, I have access to literally any fuckin strain, any type of concentrate, all while I have a room full of plants about to flower. I would have stayed In NH forever if they legalized it, or at least invested in their medical industry which is the most bullshit I’ve ever seen.

No thanks, the only thing right now that would benefit me from NH legalizing besides obviously the legal aspects of it, is growing home grown. I have a Maine dispensary right across the border in South Berwick literally 10 minutes from my house, amazing quality bud for good prices. Ill just border hop dispensaries for now, fuck moving to Maine though they absolute Hard R you with Tax

Wait until he realizes that in a scenario where only government grown boof is available, all the money is still going to Maine.

Do you think sununu, a man (& his family) who is deeply invested in ski mountains and tourism in New Hampshire should pass at the opportunity to pass this legislative. No any sane person would jump at the bit for this bill if they were invested in those industries, it makes me question his true motives for why he hasn’t made a move for legalization, like his potential desire to run for president one day? And maybe just clinging to the pockets of serval potential big pharma donors. It’s the only thing I could make logical sense of, ski mountains love smokers, legalized states LOVE smokers coming for tourism, make it make sense.

He's also been known to bow down to the police unions, who have spent so long treating it as a major crime they can't begin to contemplate it as nothing. It's a systemic brainwashing.

Ugh. Private prisons should be illegal. That tidbit of info has definitely soured part of my Sununu views. Thank you for sharing. It's not even the potential family ties abuse that bug me, it's fact that he supports them at all.

the_nobodys t1_j60f2vs wrote

God I hope that's not the case, that it's not pressure from police "unions." How much ongoing regression can this country lay at the feet of the police? If it's the case of waiting for a federal reclassification, then that's at least understandable on some level.

Abraxis729 t1_j615w8i wrote

That swine chief from Bedford has multiple chiefs from other counties whinging about safety with no sources on it. Meanwhile buying alcohol EVERYWHERE is perfectly fine while they can bag anyone for minor possessions still and pocket it themselves. The amount of times my friends had cops catch them with weed and they take it for themselves to keep it "hush,hush" is so warped. Theyre smoking it themselves, that never hits an evidence locker or whatever the piglets are supposed to do with it

You don't think the police are heavily invested in marijuana staying illegal? They would actually have to do their job more if it was legalized and you know what kind of fits they throw when they are told to do anything.

Matty_Bee63 OP t1_j64rtd2 wrote

Yup I 100% agree. And a perfect point is this. How many arrests stem from the car "Smelling like weed" thus initiating either a K9 or a search. If that was mute, and they could no longer use that as a tool to search and arrest it would completely shift the paradigm of traffic policing in my opinion.

They know it's nothing. No police officer in America believes weed is any worse than alcohol. They just enjoy having an easy way to skirt around the 4th ammendment.

Got a TLDR? Are you saying we're arresting and then dumping lots of weed criminals into private prisons and he's making bank on that?

No sales tax. It’s not that much cheaper. I’d rather see mom&pop liquor stores than the states run bullshit. Gotta drive 20 miles to a state store when there’s beer at every place in town.

He wants it that way is bs- he’s hiding behind a thin curtain with that excuse! He doesn’t want you to blame him. “It’s not my fault, the fed won’t let me!”🤷‍♀️

He is full of it! So, no other business model works but his idea?? He’s laughable on this one!

d-cent t1_j60oadm wrote

That's all good and fine but they can atleast pass a simple decriminalization bill. The current one is trash. You could go to jail for having an ounce of weed.

They should go the VT route and do it in 2 steps. Give the full legalization of possession and then wait till it is federally legal to pass a bill for legalizing sales.

As far as I’m concerned that is just a bs talking point used to pacify republican voters upset by the idiotic pot policy.

Apprehensive-Ad6466 t1_j63zx9l wrote

This is 1000% nothing but a bullshit political stance. He's "for it" but the feds are blocking it from happening the way he wants. That way he can have his cake and eat it too. He can say he's for legalization and at the same time not actually do anything that will upset his base.

slayermcb t1_j60d4uu wrote

Yes, because if they legalize it first then it becomes a lot more difficult to control sales later. Though I think legalizing personal possession would be a wonderful stop gap. it's not like they're stopping anyone from buying weed when most of the state is within 2 hours of legal purchase and the worst you'll get is a desk ticket.

ZoraC8 t1_j60gx4p wrote

That's just what you want, the government running it. The key is to go the medical route first and get a medical dispensary on every corner. Everyone gets their med card for insomnia and boom, killer weed to cure those sleepless nights. The retail shops can't compete with the dispensaries for price and quality. It's like comparing local craft beer to Miller lite. And, funny how it works, the black market is just as good as the dispensaries.
