Just like New Jersey below, second verse, same as the first…
CONCORD, N.H.—A New Hampshire House and Senate committee has amended language to a bill that would allow patients with debiliating illnesses to receive small amounts of marijuana.
The original bill let patients grow it at their home, but now they would go to a “compassion center,” a not-for-profit organization that must receive state certification.
The bill allows for up to three compassion centers, though language does allow for up to five after two years.
Imagine if cities turned off their water facilities and the next time you went to the faucet, nothing came out. You call the city and they tell you, “Sorry, from now on you must purchase your water in bottles from one of three licensed water dispensaries. And you can only get a gallon per day. And it costs six times more than what your old water bill used to cost.”
You’d scream bloody murder, right?
That’s what it feels like to a medical marijuana patient who is told she cannot grow her own medicine. You cannot live without water, she cannot live without medical marijuana. She could easily grow the marijuana at low cost at home, but we’re going to force her to pay six times the cost to leave her house to get it at a dispensary or pay to have someone deliver it.
(OK, maybe that water/marijuana comparison is a bit much. After all, these patients can live without marijuana, it’s just not the kind of life you’d want to live. Also, drinking too much water can actually kill you, unlike marijuana.)

I live in pain everyday what help me is weed.I dont believe you should drive and if the law ever passed DWI should be the same rules as alchol now they are taking legal herb insence
your kidding about the slippery slope right high east? Marijuana has no slope. I could give a joint to every man woman and child tomorrow morning, and by tomorrow night everything will be as it was the night before, no unnecessary violence, killings or shootings from poeple comming down off their reffer high. NOw alcohol, thats a slippery slope.
This must be the most frustrating times for poeple that need MJ to live normal lives. The good thing about most MMJ states is the fact that the person with fewer means can get the job done still. The new bill seems to be a little on the crazy/stupid side. Compassion centers are a good idea, and will serve many patients well, however, i see some patients being left out in the cold due to transportation reasons, lack of funds, or just not wanting to government drugdealers. Well, this bill will be a foot in the door, if it passes we can put heat on senators and reps to ammend it in the future, once old Lynch pulls his head from the sand, or maybe it will be someone else for 2010, ya never know. The motto shoud be “die so polititionscan live free”
And this state’s motto is “Live Free or Die”. ? I think they may need to reexamine it or start following it !
CLAYTON HOLTON….GO KICK THEIR ASSES…..IN YOUR WHEELCHAIR……SHOW THEM WHAT A SICK PERSON IS… ALL 87 POUNDS OF YOU
This is the slipperly slope of medical I fear so much.
Please don’t let this precident be set. Crush this bill or change the language.
