Well, feds will always still bust people until it's legalized nationwide, but even if only dealing is legalized this make so a good amount will get shorter arrests. They do have some harsh possesion charges but as everyone said it's a step in the right direction, even though major dealers are still at risk from the feds, the small guys are not.

Uhh even if it passes...possession, distribution, and use of marijuana is still illegal on the federal level. I live in CA and medical weed is supposedly "legal". The DEA came down here a few days ago and closed some clubs down.

Precisely my point. I was saying that, although it was probably meant for exportation, your average joe doesn't know that. So, when they get a huge, 10,000 plant bust, and it still doesn't make a difference in the area, then you're more likely to say that the War on Drugs isn't working. I mean, this giant bust cost a LOT of money. A lot of OUR MONEY. I know I'd rather have that money spent on something else, and I think that a lot of people will too, seeing how all the money seems to have just disappeared and no real change occurred at all.

And, VeryYummy, that is VeryTrue, but I really think it unlikely that they will have federal agents prowling the streets of NH to catch your common street users. And if they do, then, seriously, why the fuck am I paying the government so much money? For big busts, sure, I can see it as justifiable within the government's spin on the War on Drugs. I just can't see them wasting resources doing general policing for drugs.

Really, the only reasonable thing that the government could do is cut off our federal funding. And frankly, I'm not convinced that would be a bad thing for NH. We recieve the smallest payback for our taxes in the nation- we get back approximately $.60 for every dollar we send the federal government. Yeah, we get $.40 LESS than we pay.

Honestly, and this is pretty far off-topic, I think that NH might be better off as it's own independent city-state. There would be problems, it's definitely true, not the least of which would be military repercussions from the US for seceding. But I believe that we could work them out. But that's a topic for a later time. I'm still just hoping that this bill passes in some form, even substantially cut back, because any change towards legalization, even a small step, is welcome.

In 2002 (the most recent year Normal has on this stuff) NH has the 3rd highest ate iof arrests in the country. So they need this stuff. Though only the third highest on sale busts though.

pretendo · 03-04-2007, 02:21 PM

well this Charles Weed fellow has the right idea, cops are wasting there time arresting "responsible" marijuana users, some people who use marijuana unresponsibly should be penalized but not with the unfair laws today maybe just a fine

Noober · 03-05-2007, 08:49 PM

I would also like to kno when they vote on this n if it passes or not because i would move

Ganjika · 06-01-2007, 08:57 AM

so whatever happened with this????

MrEddy · 06-01-2007, 02:52 PM

I'm sure it failed or hasn't gone for vote yet. If a law actually passed anywhere in the US about pot you know someone would make a thread on it within a few hours.

**IGemini** · 06-01-2007, 06:06 PM

I found one article made about a month ago saying the bill was still in committee, so they haven't voted yet.
