Prior to the election, state Rep. Jared Sullivan (D-Grafton) sponsored two cannabislegalization bills for this upcoming session — one simply legalizing personal possession and private consumption with penalties for public consumption if Republican Kelly Ayotte became our next governor, and the other legalizing and regulating commercial commerce via licensed private-sector operators if Democrat Joyce Craig won.
Since Ayotte, who vehemently opposes legalization, the commercial commerce bill is DOA. But since the N.H. Senate went from a 14-10 Republican majorityto a (veto-proof) 16-8 Republican majority and is even more hostile to cannabis legalization than the current Senate, in Rep. Sullivan’s words, the likelihood of passing even simple personal consumption next year has gone from possible to “slim to none.”
