With New Hampshire, all of New England has decriminalized or legalized marijuana
New Hampshire just became the 22nd state to decriminalize marijuana.

New Hampshire just took another step in ensuring its state motto — “live free or die” — is true for marijuana.

On Tuesday, Republican Gov. Chris Sununu signed a bill that decriminalized pot. Previously, simple marijuana possession was punishable by up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $2,000. The bill eliminates the possibility of prison time for possession of up to three-quarters of an ounce of marijuana, and forbids police from arresting anyone solely for low-level marijuana possession.

Sununu’s signature makes New Hampshire the 22nd state to decriminalize marijuana. With it, all of New England has decriminalized or legalized pot.

wall street criminals, he actually believes you pot smokers are the problem.

He is an idiot, sure, but he is in charge.

It is rather stunning to realize just how dumb he is and just how many lives he will destroy.
