Shame NH

From WMUR.com:
"NH to begin issuing medical marijuana ID cards"

New Hampshire patients who qualify for medical marijuana will begin receiving identification cards needed to legally purchase and possess cannabis as early as next week.  State health officials said they'll begin issuing the cards Monday. New Hampshire's medical marijuana dispensaries won't begin operating until the spring. The cards will allow qualifying patients to legally possess up to 2 ounces of marijuana, meaning they could buy it in other states without fear of facing charges. The decision to issue cards comes after a woman with terminal cancer sued the state for access to an identification card so she could buy marijuana in Maine. She won the case, prompting the attorney general to advise the state to give out cards before the dispensaries open. The Legislature approved medical marijuana in 2013.

 

^ The way New Hampshire is handling this medical marijuana issue is pathetic. It was legalized back in 2013 and the first sick and dying New Hampshirite (the correct term for a person from the state - not Granite Stater as some believe) won't have access to it until Spring 2016. I know things happen slowly in NH - mostly because the locals don't have the capacity to think of anyone but themselves - but making the dying suffer because of the state's incompetence. I know they are the "Live Free of Die" state, but they shouldn't make people die in pain. New Hampshire needs to get its act together. ^
