For all intensive purchases

Where do you live? I legit can think of anywhere that is more than a 10 minute drive to a liquor store on the southern border. They are all over the place.

It is also significantly cheaper than mass. I would know because I went to school at umass Amherst but lived in Manchester NH. Every time I would go home I would buy tons of liquor for friends because some handles like captain Morgan’s was sometimes $10 cheaper. That’s like a 33% discount. This was in like 2010 though.

I thought freedom involved guns? 'murca and all that

Do people actually think their going to sell pot inside the state liquor stores?? That would never happen. They’d have to open new storefronts and they’d be a million miles out of everyone’s way. Easier to just go to MA or ME.

If you don’t hold it you don’t get as high though….

Depends on the weight of the container the weed is in, and if the cop is honest.

Scales can be manipulated.

.70 oz? ticket.

.79 oz? jail.

It’s not that much cheaper and most have to drive waaaaay farther to 1 of the state run stores. MA is closer to me than any of the state stores by a long way.

While I agree, a ticket is far from jail time.

Senate has a bunch of “But the children…” legislators, of both parties, I’m guessing, the majority stodgy Republicans to boot.

Once you find out which committee it is assigned to, write them or testify at the hearing. Advocate for the passage of the marijuana at a minimum even if they have to do a committee amendment to remove the hail mary drugs.

Which can be removed via amendment in the Senate. Then the Senate votes on it. If it passes, it goes back to the House for concurrence on the Senate's amendment, and then on to the Governor.

This shoot for the moon trend on some bills is annoying. I saw a decent solar bill get killed today because some junior rep tried to increase solar use by 1170% for the next gabillion years. Little bights get the ball to the end zone overthrowing the receiver does not. *forgive my extremely shitty football analogy.

There is no connection. Pot is not alcohol. We also have retail tobacco.

The foundation of having state-owned liquor stores vs retail stores offering liquor.

If we have retail cannabis, retailers could challenge the state-run liquor system.

The fact that statement exists is the issue.

Speeding endangers other motorists and pedestrians.

Smoking marijuana does not, unless you're driving.

These are not equivalent activities.

$5,200 number 2 heating oil as a prebuy. Still have half of it left and expecting a refund in May for what's left over.

$275 seasoned firewood.

Numbers are a bit skewed because we have a newborn son at home so we turned up the thermostats above normal level while he and mom are at home on maternity leave. Still expect heating oil costs to be over $4,000 this winter.

Your firewood expenses are nuts this year. That is almost 6 and a half cords for what my 22 price was.

I've probably burned $400 in purchased wood thus far this year. The rest was scrounged wood. Next year will be all scrounged wood and a little oil.

Thank you. I don’t think this thread is understanding what this bill addresses. SMH.

$1100 wood pellets

Exactly. This is how they keep it from passing. Add these other drugs, then say they would vote for it if it weren’t for the other drugs…

Possession is just a desk ticket. It's no worse then speeding.

These added drugs are why this bill will fail. Bunch of morons in our state government. Everyone who voted against this will do so claiming they are open to legal cannabis but not the other drugs. Such whacko losers in our government

We got our cat there! It was easy and great and she is purrfect.

The liquor stores will be fine. There is little if any decrease in consumption of alcohol in legal states. What foundation exactly is undermined?

I have an honest question. If it's illegal to grow here why is there or at least was a medical grow facility by the airport?
