Should New Hampshire legalize the recreational use of marijuana by allowing home-growing and private use without sales?
"Against. I am one of the Democrats that voted against the legalization for recreational use. I am not opposed to the medicinal use for adults and teenagers because it at least allows for a conversation for the pros/cons. The state receives revenues from alcohol, cigarettes and gambling. I think that allowing marijuana to be recreational for people under 21 presents a series health issue that far outweighs the money the state would collect."
