Living in New Hampshire, I heard on the radio that the bill to decriminalization of cannabis in New Hampshire was denied.
"In New Hampshire, about 100 people rallied in the state capital of Concord on the eve of a Senate vote to decriminalize small amounts of pot. Some lit up joints as state troopers watched from inside the Statehouse.
The Judiciary Committee recommended unanimously that the Senate kill the bill passed by the House. The bill would allow adults to possess one-quarter ounce or less of the substance. It also would decriminalize transporting less than one-quarter ounce of the drug.
Anyone younger than 18 caught with one-quarter ounce or less would be subject to a $200 fine. The youth's parents would be notified and he or she would have to complete a drug awareness program and community service within one year of the violation. Failing to comply would result in a $1,000 fine.
Gov. John Lynch said he will veto the bill if it reaches him. Lynch vetoed a similar measure last year."
And the battle goes on.
