If you lay 2 fingers across a baggie, that's roughly a quarter oz.

Trust me, where there is a will there is a way.

I didn't say joint in that comment, however if you've ever seen Up in Smoke you'd know that's definitely possible

.74 oz ticket

.76 oz handcuffs.

I'm aware of what I'm talking about.

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.

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.

Fuck the liquor commission and their monopoly.

Why would there be dispensaries at the border when literally every other surrounding state is legal?

Fuck it, buy an eighth and you get a free Roman Candle!

100% New Hampshire will never legalize until the federal government does, Sununu has said as much.

Live Free Or Die, my ass

Carry a gun with no permit? Sure, why not?

Smoke a joint, jail.

A lot of states criminalized suicide because the logic was you are destroying the kings property.

Well said.

Reducing recidivism rates is actually a smart investment, I'd argue if, you truly want to decrease crime that is directly caused by desperate people in desperate need, eliminating that desperation would pay dividends.

But, something something socialism.

Ideas are more powerful than any rifle.

Show some compassion.

This is why harm reduction is so important

"I watched this young woman grow up. Her dad died while she was in utero, her mom spent the next couple years severely depressed. Five or six years later mom remarried, it seemed life was back on track until that day when stepdad backed over Timiah's brother, an accident that took his life. Timiah watched in horror from ten feet away, she could never talk about it. Soon after that she watched her world crumble and the family disintegrate, they lost their home, step dad left the family and mom turned to drugs because she could no longer cope with life's chalanges. This girl followed. Not making excuses for her, and I'm sorry for the pain she has caused so many! Just trying to add insight as to why this girl is so broken. Unfortunately, because we do not have the wisdom to help her, she will spend many years in prison. A place where all of us, including Broken Timiah will be safer. Just saying"

A comment from the article you linked.

We desperately need reform, no child could witness that and be ok.

This woman needs intensive psychiatric care, not prison, where her mental health will almost certainly deteriorate, worse than it already is.

The mental health system in New Hampshire is abysmal at best, though.

Just really sad.

Yes, the system absolutely failed her.

ETA:

Show at least some compassion, the comments on concord patch lead me to believe that a lot would willingly sign up to open the valve.

The reason concord in particular has such an issue is that NHH and the prison are located there, and there is absolutely zero aftercare.

Housing prices are through the roof, and there is practically no units, even if you can afford it.

And people ask "why is this such an issue"?

NIMBY's

Edit 2: No, I don't know her

Edit 3:

Live Free Or Die, my ass

Damn right
