Reply to comment by JunkMilesDavis in Pot legalization not part of NH Senate GOP agenda by redditor01020

Its hard to believe but they do represent a good portion of the citizenry. A lot of the old timers have very strong feelings about the Devil's Lettuce. And its the old timers that usually vote.

A February 2022 poll by the University of New Hampshire found that 74 percent of Granite Staters support marijuana legalization. The old timers should stick to booze and let the rest of us smoke the devil's lettuce!

You're right of course, it's just one of those rare issues where public opinion has probably shifted more than far enough to overcome the age difference in voter turnout. I won't be surprised if whatever eventually makes it to the ballot has enough unfavorable details intentionally written in to make different groups vote against it for opposite reasons.
