New Hampshire is in a weird position when it comes to recreational cannabis laws. While illegal currently in New Hampshire it’s legal in all surrounding states and Canada. In practice it’s hard even for cops to take weed laws seriously.
New Hampshire legalized medical marijuana. The problem is that it’s more expensive than what’s available for recreation in neighboring jurisdictions. You are never too far from a weed shop just across a border.
Right now it looks like New Hampshire will eventually do what they did with booze. If you want something stronger than beer or wine you have to get it from a state store. That’s probably what they’ll do with weed. Frankly, I’m surprised New Hampshire hasn’t done the whole state weed store thing by now. It’s unlike New Hampshire to let business go to other states. The state does a good business selling booze to those who come across the border.
It’s pretty weird that the Federal government hasn’t legalized it across the country. That makes for a lot of nonsense. You can go from Canada where weed is legal to Vermont where weed is legal, but don’t take any across the border. The border is Federal so it’s illegal.
Weed laws are just an example of fractured laws. Our laws are getting even more intrusive as each state makes more and more decisions for their people. Your state doesn’t just dictate what’s legal to party with. It matters what kind of health care you can get or what text books your kids can read. Depending on how you want live it really matters where you live.
