N.H. Senate will vote on simple legalization on May 1!

The New Hampshire Senate Judiciary Committee narrowly voted down a simple bill — HB 198 — to legalize adults' possession of up to 2 ounces of cannabis. But in New Hampshire, committees don't get the final say. The full Senate will be deciding HB 198's fate on Thursday, May 1.

If you live in New Hampshire, email and call your state senator to ask them to vote "yes" on HB 198. Let your senator know it's past time the Live Free State treat adults like grown-ups.

Every one of New Hampshire's neighbors has legalized cannabis for adults 21 and older. And two-thirds of voters want the Granite State to follow suit. The least the legislature can do is stop punishing adults for simple possession.

In other news, the New Hampshire Senate deadlocked last week on a bill (HB 53) to allow medical cannabis patients to cultivate their own medical cannabis. After a recess, the majority of senators voted to table the bill. HB 53 can be removed from the table at any time if a majority of members vote to do so.
