New Hampshire governor promises to kill ‘historic’ marijuana legalization bill


The New Hampshire House of Representatives preliminarily approved legislation on Wednesday that would legalize marijuana for recreational use, but Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan has vowed to veto the bill.

Hassan signed a bill last year that legalized marijuana for medicinal marijuana use. But she told WMUR she doesn’t “support the decriminalization of marijuana any further” and plans to veto the new bill if it is approved by the state’s legislature.

The New Hampshire House voted 170-162 in favor of the bill, which would allow the purchase and possession of limited amounts of marijuana for adults 21 and older.
