CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire won’t join neighboring Maine and Massachusetts in decriminalizing possession of small amounts marijuana after the Senate rejected what it called a deeply flawed proposal removing criminal penalties for possession of up to a quarter ounce of the drug.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan is asking legislators crafting the state’s fourth medical marijuana proposal in six years to strike a provision allowing patients to grow the plants at home.

Great time to get together with others who are willing to stand up and say cannabis prohibition is a crime against nature and humanity! Come on out and show your support for legalization!

Say NO to @MonsantoCo!!

A big Monsanto protection bill passed Congress this week, and it didn’t get much attention because of all the SCOTUS stuff. But seriously, it’s bad, and having a former Monsanto attorney as the final arbiter of its legality is extra bad.

The New Hampshire House passed a bill Thursday decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana for the fourth time in five years.

The New Hampshire House has passed a proposal sanctioning five dispensaries and allowing patients or caregivers to grow up to three (3) adult marijuana plants.

The House voted 286-64 on Wednesday passing a medical marijuana bill with a veto-proof majority. It’s the fourth time in six years such a bill has passed the House.

Matt Simon with the Marijuana Policy Project said Monday he’s confident that this will be the year New Hampshire legalizes medical marijuana, but as for any further marijuana reform, he thinks that will have to wait.

New Hampshire will have a house vote this week to legalize medical marijuana. The proposal that would sanction five dispensaries and allow patients or caregivers to grow up to three (3) adult plants.

An amended version of the bill restricting out-of-state patients from purchasing or growing marijuana in New Hampshire and tightening other language was overwhelmingly approved by a House committee.
