New Hampshire passes legislation to become the 17th legal mmj state [View all]
the deal is not yet done, however.
From MMP:
Today, the Republican-dominated New Hampshire House passed legislation that would make New Hampshire the 17th medical marijuana state.
The vote was a crushing 236-96, which is a veto-proof majority. And we actually needed to get a veto-proof majority, because Gov. John Lynch (D) has promised to veto our bill, just as he did in 2009.
A few weeks ago, the state Senate voted 13-11 to pass our bill, so MPP’s New Hampshire team is working furiously to get up to 16 votes in the Senate, which would be a veto-proof majority in that chamber.

Seems more and more people in the U.S. are moving toward the end of prohibition.
