The New Hampshire House of Representatives passed a new bill to legalize marijuana without any regulations or limitations on weed in the state, reported Marijuana Moment.
The measure was bipartisan and filed for the 2023 session in December.
What’s In The Bill?
The bill, sponsored by Republican Kevin Verville, aims to remove marijuana from the state’s list of prohibited substances.
Verville credited the bill’s short length and simplicity for helping it pass. When bills get too “long,” or complicated, legislatures “get confused” and “vote against them,” he says.
“This is the shortest, easiest way to affect the change that the majority of our constituents want—and that is the legalization of cannabis,” Verville said.
In addition to removing criminal penalties for cannabis-related offenses, the bill also includes a provision for the annulment of records for people with prior cannabis convictions or pending cases.
In addition, some members believed that continuing to criminalize marijuana would only expose more citizens to potential involvement in the criminal justice system.
The two New Hampshire lawmakers, one Republican and the other Democrat, seem to share a common interest – cannabis.
House Majority Leader Jason Osborne (R) and Minority Leader Matt Wilhelm (D) have joined forces to file a bill to legalize recreational cannabis for the 2023 session, reported Marijuana Moment.
What’s In The Bill
The bipartisan measure would allow those over 21 to possess or give away up to 4 ounces of marijuana and also clear records of past marijuana possession offenses. In addition, marijuana sales would be taxed at 8.5%. The bill would also set up a new market with state-approved retailers to sell cannabis.
Cultivation of up to six plants, including three of which may be mature, and possession of marijuana produced at home would also be allowed under the new legislation.
“The House has long stood united in finding a pathway to getting this done for Granite Staters,” Osborne said. “With any luck, the Senate will come around to supporting the will of the vast majority of New Hampshire citizens.”
Previous (Failed) Efforts
New Hampshire’s Senate members have struck down the two previously House-passed bills that would have legalized marijuana in April.
The noncommercial legislation from Osborne’s GOP colleague Rep. Carol McGuire was killed in a 9-15 vote, while another bill – from Rep. Daryl Abbas (R) – that would have set up an adult-use market run by the state’s Liquor Commission was also defeated by the Senate, on a voice vote.
Now, House members behind the latest legalization effort are hoping to get the new bill approved by Senate members in 2023.
“Legalization of adult possession of small amounts of cannabis is the right thing to do for New Hampshire and we must get it done in 2023,” Wilhelm said.
