Title:
New Hampshire Senate passes medical marijuana bill!
Message:
In a huge victory for patients and their families, the New Hampshire Senate voted today to approve New Hampshire’s medical marijuana bill, SB 409, in a 13-11 vote.
With this vote, the New Hampshire Senate became the first Republican-led state senate in the nation to pass an effective medical marijuana bill. This result would not have been possible without your calls and emails, so thank you for helping us move this bill forward to the House!
Unfortunately, Gov. Lynch’s press secretary has already indicated that Lynch will veto the bill. Please call his office now at (603) 271-2121 and urge him to reconsider his position on SB 409.
Several senators who voted “no” today are not certain in their opposition, and we are still optimistic about gaining support from additional senators (those who did not have the luxury of being present for the bill’s public hearing) as we continue moving this bill through the process.
The bill will next be referred to the House Health and Human Services Committee for a hearing in April or May. We will continue working to gain support in both the House and Senate in coming weeks.
