It’s not going to happen until the feds reschedule its classification and end the federal prohibition.

It sucks and is stupid. We’re losing tons of money due to fear of federal drug enforcement.

It could end with Biden’s signature but we all know that’ll never happen.

This is a good summary.

The wildest part too is that just a few months ago we gave the fed the finger by telling them we wouldn’t lift a finger to help them (ATF or FBI) with any shred of firearms enforcement relating to laws that are federal only. We’re just too afraid to do it with weed.

Has anyone done some math on the potential annual income to NH that based on % of users in NH and their annual expenditure/amount used?

I don't know, I just find it unfortunate that NH missed out on that economic boon. It could have, and should have been one of the first. Now it's the last New England state. So you aren't going to see a huge economic advantage to it happening now.

This keeps coming up about the state wanting to monopolize sale as it does with liquor but it's speculation at best.

Edit: please someone tell me where this has been actually stated officially and I'll happily stand corrected. But you can't.

Sununu has mentioned preferring a state-run model multiple times. This article mentions that:

It's paywalled. Can't read it.

You can just close it and click read full article. This is the only mention about Sununu and the state:

"Earlier this year, he surprised observers by saying legalization was probably “inevitable,” and that he would prefer a state-run model over alternatives."

They demonstrate it in this new legalization bill they are trying to push through...the alcohol board would now be the weed and alcohol board AND they left out home growing just to make sure they can rake in all that cash.

Losing money ? Apparently you have not done your homework on that subject. Most so called legal marijuana states report they spend more money due to problems with marijuana than the taxes they collect. Read it for yourself before you say I am a liar.
