NH Lawmakers OK Medical Marijuana; Gov to Study

Thu, Jun 25, 2009 4:46 pm


Source: Bostonherald.com 

 

CONCORD, N.H. - New Hampshire legislators have passed a bill that would make the state the 14th to legalize marijuana for severely ill people — if the governor signs it.

 

Gov. John Lynch says he has not read the final version passed late Wednesday afternoon, but remains concerned about preventing marijuana cultivation and distribution.

 

Supporters say New Hampshire’s proposed law stands out because it would bar users or their caregivers from growing marijuana. The weed would have to be grown and distributed in nonprofit "compassion centers."

For nearly 50 years Hightimes has been publishing all the information necessary to restore the bud and hemp Insustries. 75% of the states still have their hemp stamps on the books. But, until you remove the risk of me spending the rest of my life behind bars, this country will see no economic gains from me. No education, no house, no 401k for Bernie Madoff and the like to steal, and barely a penny in the bank.

The canal is all part of that. It's the best place on the planet to grow pot/hemp. You'll also notice that my plan calls for the requirement to grow 2 acres of hemp or bamboo per acre of bud. Where do you think that's going? Right back into the economy. Cheaper, renewable, CARBON NEGATIVE alternatives to their petro-shit CARBON INTENSIVE industry.

Better construction materials, super insulated homes requiring 0 heating and cooling. It's all out there, you just have to grab it by the balls. Millions of new businesses will be the result. Grow shops, head shops, retail bud shops, compassion centers. 500,000 new farms, 500,000 new homes - IN AMERICA? Then, when you're crop comes in, you build a house, and get some neighbors, soon Walmart, Home Depot, hospitals. IT WILL BE THE SAVING GRACE OF THE ENTIRE GLOBE when America can become self-sustaining and carbon neutral.

All the scraps, all lawn debris, branches, trees, anything Mother Nature grows, can be turned into Ethanol to fuel your farm equipment. It's a wonderful cycle she has built for us, we're just too ignorant to employ it. While Mobil/Exxon makes 1.6 BILLION PER YEAR IN PROFITS.

But instead of "common sense" practices, spelled out by Thomas Paine 300 years ago, we're convincing 3rd world countries to grow more HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP FOR US, 300 MILLION OBESE DIABETICS. Instead of growing food to feed themselves? Millions will die, mostly the weak and the children, who are now surving by eating MUD! So we can save a penny on a pound of sugar?
Moral Majority? OMFG! MONSANTO, CODEX, HR BILL 875, FDA BILATERAL AGREEMENTS ON TRI AND QUADRALATERRLS? CHINA IS GONNA GROW MY FOOD - FUCK THAT!

You also have 30-60 million new tax payers. Trillions of dollars saved in time and deisel = cheaper prices for consumers. Now $100 will get you 3 pairs of sneakers, instead of 1 sneaker. What good is 1 sneaker.

Just need SENSI-ble legislators in the White House, instead of them money-hungry elitests that ain't worth the air they breathe. Now you see why I refused to be "educated" by Americans? It's much easier for me to learn what matters to me, than to try and un-learn the shit they shovel. Think Einstein said that too, "don't let an education get in the way of your learning". He dropped out too! It's hard to focus on what matters, while your memorizing all that useless shit they call an "education".

Thomas Paine and Thomas Edison. You don't need much more, except food and pot.

perkybert - damn staight!

50% tax for recreational retail

50% tax for commercial sales

You have to grow 2 acres of hemp or bamboo per 1 acre of bud

0% tax for personal consumption - you don't pay taxes on anything else you grow for personal consumption.

VOTE NO ON BILL HR 875 OR NONE OF THIS PROGRESS WILL MATTER
GOOGLE IT TODAY, IT MAY ALREADY BE TOO LATE.

google codex,hr 875,Monsanto,FDA quadralateral "agreements"

You may want to be sitting...and stoned. All that help, GLOBALIZED EXTINCTION, to feed 300 million obese diabetics addicted to HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP? WOW!

Ya think globalized usery turned out fine? But, they're still going strong. But now, it's not open to the public, no reporters, no doctors or engineers, NO DEBATES.

DEMOCRACY? PLEASE!

lab3 - save the strains, good point.

Ya think anyone had the forethought to put some 420 seeds in that "frozen seed bank"? Think they're planning for some "unforseen" disaster? Not. They're probably gonna spray globally, kill every strain of weed, then open up their frozen seeds and start all over.

I got arrested the other day for having under a gram and a pipe on me... i HAD no criminal record and NEVER been in trouble.. im in college and have a job and because my state wants to make money off people like me i now have a record. i dont steal, lie, cheat, rape, murder or even take drugs or drink alcohol. You know what i was told by the police? That marijuana was as addictive as herion and i need to stop smoking and start drinking alcohol because it was legal.

THANK YOU GOV AND YOUR WONDERFUL LAWS!!!!!!!!!

i get slightly confused here, how is that we ALL are allwoed to drink as much alcohal as we please, we can get prescription drugs left adn right, smoke tobaccoo like no other, but yet we have to try to pass laws to see if we can help those in need of help.it has been proven that weed fucking helps with all sorts of medical issues. but yet lets give these patients very addciting pills that cost $100s a month. i do not understand why the fuck we can smoke. everyone else is allowed to go as the please and honestly they are creating more problems. but we are not allowed to smoke a plant, which is proven to help us all and provide this world with things that we need. it is like abortion... you are taking a life before it is even given a chance to do anything. the gov. is saying no without even knowing the outcome or evening attempting to give a chance. the positive things that weed can bring to this nation is crazy, but yet just becuase it is "weed" they want to say no. i dont get it. we spend all this money on cour and jail time and shit for drunk ass drivers, but yet we can invest half of that into helping people who can trully use weed to get better.

My husband just got diagnosed with epilepsy and I have researched the uses for medical marijuana. In almost all of the 13 states that have legalized it for medical reasons.. one of the diagnoses for the use of it is epilepsy. It has proven to us that it does help his seizures not be as severe.. or as numerous when he smokes. He is on all types of prescribed "Government" medicine.. and none of them are working. We currently do not live in a state where it is legal.. but as soon as we are able.. we damn sure will be!!


LEGALIZE IT!!
