Clegg Predicts Success for Medical Marijuana in 2009
Do you support or oppose changing the law in New Hampshire to allow seriously and terminally ill patients to use and grow medical marijuana for personal use if their doctors recommend it?

If you said "yes," you are in good company. A poll conducted in April by Mason and Dixon Polling and Research, Inc., found that 71% of New Hampshire voters are now in favor of medical marijuana reform.

Even Republicans?

New Hampshire Republican voters favor medical marijuana reform by a 56% to 32% margin (12% undecided). 87% of Democrats and 72% of independents agree, and only 21% of NH voters want to continue arresting seriously and terminally ill patients for marijuana.

Will all this public support translate into legislative success for medical marijuana in 2009? One top Republican legislator and candidate for U.S. Congress says he thinks so. In a June 8 appearance on the cable show "Capitol Access," State Senator Bob Clegg (R-Hudson) was asked about HB 1623, a bill reducing penalties for minor marijuana possession which passed the House this year but was swept under a rug by the Senate. Clegg explained that he had tried to work out a compromise on the bill (which enjoyed support by a less overwhelming majority of voters, 53% to 34%, than medical marijuana reform), but that Senate Democrats had decided it was more important to protect the governor than address the issue. "I would say that next year... that would have a good opportunity, at least for medical marijuana," he added.

I had read that there has been growing support (haha no pun intended :greenthumb:) in New Hampshire. Kind of makes sense with the whole "Live Free or Die," thing ;).

They are surrounded anyway... the choices of Vermont and Maine surely can not be unnoticed by the citizens and politicians. New Hampshire is such a gorgeous state and is best enjoyed with an open mind. :hippy:

I'm going to stay updated. I have a feeling that, if any state is on the verge of acceptance, New Hampshire is just about there. :thumbsup:

Folks who aren't quite sure or haven't made up their minds. Just because someone says it is likely to go through, is no reason to kick back! Every cannabis user in NH should be doing whatever they can to get it legalized- at the very least, for medical use!

I believe that the road to legalization is education! Once people read how many things cannabis heals, it is hard to remain on the prohibition bandwagon! Please feel free to send my list, or a few pages and the URL, to any "fence-sitter" you can think of. Your parents, doctors and lawyers, your boss (anonymously, perhaps?), and news reporters are good, too! The more people who know about cannabis, the better!
