This keeps coming up about the state wanting to monopolize sale as it does with liquor but it's speculation at best.

Edit: please someone tell me where this has been actually stated officially and I'll happily stand corrected. But you can't.

You can just close it and click read full article. This is the only mention about Sununu and the state:

"Earlier this year, he surprised observers by saying legalization was probably “inevitable,” and that he would prefer a state-run model over alternatives."

They demonstrate it in this new legalization bill they are trying to push through...the alcohol board would now be the weed and alcohol board AND they left out home growing just to make sure they can rake in all that cash.
