A lawyer-legislator backing a bill that would change the power of the legislative continuance has been granted just that - a continuance in a case that s been dragging on for nearly two years.
The legislation would remove marijuana from the state's list of banned substances and strike provisions in current law that refer to criminal penalties for cannabis-related offenses. The proposed law would not create any kind of tax or regulatory program for marijuana. It would effectively become legal to possess, cultivate, buy, and sell cannabis just like tomatoes.
A bill introduced in the New Hampshire House would legalize the adult use of marijuana, and ban the state from participating in the enforcement of federal prohibition on the same.
