Medical cannabis patients targeted by bill, opponents claim
By Garry Rayno - InDepthNH | Apr 22, 2021
CONCORD –A bill intended to make cannabis use in a vehicle a violation similar to an open alcohol container ran into a buzz saw of opposition Wednesday.
Senate Bill 60 supporters said it is intended to make the state’s highways safer, but many more people said it targets and discriminates against the more than 11,000 state residents in the medical marijuana program.
The bill passed the Senate on a 21-3 vote last month, but opponents to the bill in the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee hearing outnumbered supporters 95 to 33.

A plan to expand the use of body and dashboard cameras by law enforcement at all levels in New Hampshire is advancing with bipartisan support and minimal public opposition, despite the fact that some police leaders say the cameras aren’t necessary.
If bills now being debated in the House and Senate become law, the use of video technology will expand from a handful of local police departments to include all New Hampshire state troopers, with a $1 million fund established to help local police departments acquire the technology as well.
