It is long overdue to decriminalize cannabis in the state of NH. Every other state surrounding us has done this, and we are woefully backwards in many ways, particularly this one. People should not be fined or jailed for possessing cannabis for their own consumption. We sell alcohol on our highways. Cannabis is far less destructive to children and families. Please pass this bill let the people of NH tell you they support legal, safe use of recreational cannabis.

I love that NH has stood firmly against marijuana possession for recreational use. I hope our lawmakers have the moral strength to look past the dollar signs and make the right decision for our children and families. NH needs revenue, but please don’t make drugs legal as a means to that end.

Cannabis is a medicinal plant, not a drug.

Marijuana is one of the safest tool out there for severe drug addiction. I have seen first hand what drugs use looks like. I have watched my own brother die from drug abuse, and I can assure you marijuana was not the drug involved. For a state whose motto is Live Free or Die, it seems like that goes out the window when a plant you can’t overdose on comes on the market. Pass this bill and help our state focus on the actual drug abuse occurring.
