NH House passes HB 442 medical cannabis

[Keith and stuff]

Quick question I was wondering if someone could clear up for me (i know its off topic from this thread). The nanobrewing bill says the following:
III.(a) No beverage or liquor shall be served or consumed on the premises except that which is manufactured by the licensee.

does that mean only beer made there can be served? what about juice or coca cola?

I don't know. Here is more info, though,

But Jim would have more of a feel than who I talked to.

I talked to Jim about it again for a couple minutes. He seemed to think that it was theoretically possible for the bill to pass the Senate but did explain to me that he cannot make people in the Senate vote the way he wants them too It did say he will continue to work to try to have the bill he sponsored pass the Senate.

And more good news,

The Foster's Daily Democrat wrote an editiorial in possible support of HB 442 and in support of highly regulated medical marijuana in general.

According to the former head of New Hampshire Coalition for Common Sense Marijuana Policy, "The one newspaper that editorialized against the medical marijuana bill in 2009 is changing its tune."

Medical marijuana under right conditions

While there is still controversy concerning the medicinal use of marijuana, there are enough encouraging signs that New Hampshire should join the growing number of states.

Washington, D.C., and 15 other states have enacted laws protecting patients whose doctors prescribe medical marijuana. These include Maine, which is in the process of setting up clinics and dispensaries.

While Foster's Daily Democrat stands against the legalization of pot across the board, this newspaper does agree with proponents of medical use like Kirk McNeil, executive director for the New Hampshire Coalition for Common Sense Marijuana Policy.

"Today's vote once again shows that when legislators learn the facts about medical marijuana, they are motivated to allow its use by seriously ill patients."

Here's footage from the hearing. Of the few opposing testimonies, one was a Chief of Police who is interviewed in the video.



Over at FreeConcord, there's links to the three indy journalists who covered the hearing.
