NH house to vote on legalizing up to 1 oz. of pot * 1

NH house to vote on legalizing up to 1 oz. of pot

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- New Hampshire's House votes early next month whether to legalize up to 1 ounce of marijuana for recreational use for anyone age 21 and older.

Supporters propose taxing the drug when it is sold at retail at a rate of $30 per ounce and letting people grow up to six marijuana plants in a controlled environment.

State Rep. Steve Vaillancourt, a Manchester Republican supporting the bill, says the legislation is modeled after one approved by Colorado voters last year and is similar to one Washington voters passed.

"Nothing in the bill would allow anyone to drive under the influence of marijuana or any other substance. By legalizing, regulating and taxing (marijuana), society would in effect be taking the profit away from illegal operations which truly harm society," he wrote fellow representatives in support of the bill.

Vaillancourt said taxing the drug would produce millions of dollars in tax revenue. He noted that the bill would not be effective until July 1 to provide time to implement it properly.

Opponents argue marijuana is bad for people's health and would be difficult to regulate.

Criminal Justice and Public Safety Chairwoman Laura Pantelakos also noted that marijuana remains illegal under federal law.

"If New Hampshire were to legalize and regulate marijuana, it would create an unclear picture of the state versus federal law enforcement, particularly since the (Department of Justice) has stated it will rely on states that legalize to strictly enforce and regulate marijuana," Pantelakos said in a report to the House. She said that could shift regulatory costs onto the state.

Lawmakers have considered but rejected decriminalizing small amounts of marijuana for recreational use in the past, most recently last session. But decriminalization supporters were encouraged when the state — with Gov. Maggie Hassan's backing — made it legal for the seriously ill to possess and use the drug earlier this year. Implementing the state's medical marijuana law is expected to take a year.

If the bill passes the House, it faces a doubtful future. The Senate rejected a bill to decriminalize possession of up to one-quarter ounce of the drug this year and Hassan opposes decriminalization.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

Heyyy, I love when people repeat the same shit over and over like a broken record. God sometimes I just make my records skip on purpose.

Anyways, article reads nice but I don't know how much faith I have in any of this.

They might do something like CO, where the shit is cheap but the tax is an outrageous number (25%) but in the end it really evens out and is cheaper for the consumer.

$30 a ounce with 150% tax. That's only $45.

Makes me think whoever wrote this article is on drugs. Who the fuck is going to sell an ounce for $30? Do you know how much hard work that is?

Not really hard, especially if you're harvesting commercial quantities of crops

That is my interpretation of it


I am reading that an OZ will be taxed for $30 when you get it from the dispensary.

No not at all, but supply/demand situation here is that the state can stand to make loads of money, they are going to price it "competitively".  I would imagine prices much less than what the street-pharm would offer you and of higher quality.  I would feel better getting something like that from a state dispensary than out of the trunk of any vehicle.

Grow your own however sounds SPLENDID!  Hopefully the rest of this backward country figures it out....I don't think NH is going to get it however.

Don't be sorry lol.  This is a web forum.  Emotions have no place here :wink:

He does look south-park ish.  There is a HUGE history on how that icon from England made it to the USA in my Yankee link.  It is almost comical. 

The short:
They guy wanted to open an icecream business, and ordered a bunch of used trucks from england....When they came in they had the name "Mister Whippy" all over them.  Instead of trying to be creative and name a business, he simply stuck with it.  It was far cheaper to do nothing than to repaint a small startup fleet of trucks.  The rest is history.

I think you misunderstand.


$30 + 150% of 30 = $75

And I believe the intention was a $30 flat rate tax per ounce... although that does seem rather low.

You guys blow my mind sometimes. Yes, that theoretical $45 was the tax. Do you really think I'm that bad at math?  :lol:
