The New Hampshire house of representatives recently passed Senate Bill 409, by a vote of 236 to 96. This is a wonderful Bill that allows for qualified medical marijuana patients to cultivate and have their own medicinal cannabis for therapeutic purposes.

“The veto-proof majority approval came following renewed veto threats by Democrat Gov. John Lynch, who previously rejected a separate, more restrictive medical marijuana measure in 2009.”

Even though the New Hampshire Senate had already passed a relatively similar cannabis measure in March by a vote of 13 to 11; because their was a fiscal note (written estimate of the costs, savings, revenue gain, or revenue loss that may result from implementation of a bill) added to this bill, it must now be sent to the House Finance Committee before the Senate will be able to do a concurrence vote, and although the Gov. Lynch is expected to veto this bill once it’s passed and presented to him, with only three more senate bills, his anticipated veto will be overrode.

“Separate legislation — HB 1526, which sought to decriminalize the possession of up to one-half ounce of marijuana for adults for non-medical purposes — was rejected by the Senate on Wednesday. The House had previously voted in favor of the measure in March.” —10 days ago.

Hopefully New Hampshire will get the required Senate votes to overide any veto that may occur. Individuals deserve an organic medicinal alternive, and hopefully the people of New Hampshire will soon have that right; a right we should have had many years ago.

Stay High, Stay Educated, STAY REAL.
