New Hampshire House again passes marijuana legalization bill

1 minute reading time (190 words)

The New Hampshire House has again voted to legalize the personal use and cultivation of small amounts of marijuana.

The bill sent to the Senate on Thursday would allow adults to possess up to ¾ of an ounce of marijuana and to grow up to six plants. It could be traded or given away or not sold.

“It is not and never has been the job of government to try to protect you from hurting yourself, and outside of 1950s B horror movies, it has never been the job of government to protect you from a plant,” said Rep. Max Abramson, R-Seabrook.

A similar bill passed the House in 2020 but died in the Senate, as did a broader bill in 2019 that would have created a regulated and taxed retail market.

The bill approved Thursday had been retained for further work over the summer. Lawmakers also will be considering several new marijuana legalization bills in the coming months. [Read more at Westport News]
