Default Pass the Bong...NH House to vote on Legalizing Weed...

From today's Boston Globe. So if it passes, does this mean our property taxes will go down, due to the "millions of dollars" in weed taxes...???


CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire’s House is voting whether to legalize up to 1 ounce of marijuana for recreational use for anyone age 21 and older.

The House is scheduled to vote Wednesday on a bill that proposes taxing the drug when it is sold at retail at a rate of $30 per ounce and letting people grow up to six marijuana plants in a controlled environment.

Supporters say the bill was modeled after one approved by Colorado voters last year and is similar to one Washington voters passed. They say New Hampshire would receive millions of dollars in tax revenue.

Opponents argue marijuana is bad for people’s health, would be difficult to regulate and is illegal under federal law.


Gov. Maggie Hassan promises to veto the bill if it reaches her.
