(I use "liberal" in the original sense of the word, as in "respecting liberty.") New Hampshire had been famous for allowing adults to choose whether or not to wear seatbelts in cars or helmets on motorcycles. In that spirit, New Hampshire should shift its marijuana law so that it's in-line with a pro-freedom culture. Marijuana is a plant that goes in the ground. Adults in a free state should be able to grow it, harvest it, and use it in a responsible way. Maybe there is a counterargument about protecting people from themselves. So much for "live free or die." But, <b>at the very least</b>, marijuana must be legal for people who are suffering, sick, and dying. What kind of law punishes people who are fighting severe pain?
