This is a non-starter, not only because marijuana is so well-known to affect liquor sales but also because to legalize for recreational purposes you'd have to work past the strident objections of the REAL beneficiaries of prohibition: Police and their unions padded with cash who jump right into the issue whenever repeal comes up, drug-testing companies who are making money hand over fist, and the interests of employers who for whatever reason really think they are doing the right thing by trying to refuse employ to marijuana users. The courts, probation and parole, and prison system all benefit from prohibition in one way or another, mainly by fees, fines and keeping prisons and jails full to assure the receipt of federal funds. Oh, and lets not forget one of the biggest lobbyists of all; the liquor industry itself, and especially the beer producers. Anheiser-Busch was famous for this meddling back when they owned Budweiser, I'm not sure what InBev is up to now that they are the owner.

It'll happen at the last possible moment. None of the "Middle of the Road" Democrat governors we've had have seemed any more interested in reform than Sununu is, when you get right down to it.

I think we should just take a moment here to thank Don "Kitty Litter" Bolduc for asking us to Think Of The Children, in their little imaginary Furry outfits, licking each other. This verbal image, which absolutely no one pushed him to talk about, is just one prime example of jackassery Don committed on the campaign trail. Echoing QAnon Tucker Carlson bullshit might entertain the Trumpy Howler Monkeys but it is not the way to election day in NH.

President Biden didn't create the last 100 years of capitalist insanity, in the larger scheme of things he's a bit player. Amazing how Repups wail about the horrendous destructive power of an American president when they have a personal crisis when at the same time they can't resist calling him "sleepy joe" "uncle joe" and etc. For some of us the Big Crisis started twenty years and more ago... you're just a late arrival.
