According to the Marijuana Policy Project‘s Matt Simon, the new compromised “decriminalization” bill discussed Tuesday at the state house isn’t going to change much of anything at all”.
On May 24th the senate met with the NH house to discuss a compromised cannabis “decriminalization” bill. The turnout for the meeting was very good, but the prohibitionist senators again stood in the way of real progress. This video contains the full press conference, the very short hearing, a recap by Matt Simon of MPP.org, and Rich Paul and I hounding a couple of prohibitionist police chiefs afterwards. Enjoy!
Also, if you missed the first time Rich and I confronted the same police chief, Goldstein, here’s that encounter from 2013.
As long as Hassan is in office, she will veto any bill regarding the decriminalization of marijuana. Looking at the video, the embarrassment falls on Ian and Rich.
Who owns your body ? If you do not, then somebody else does.
The men in the costumes in this post are modern day slave catchers and should be ashamed of their participation in robbing people of self ownership. I’d never think of trying to control their lives if they were leaving me alone. Making thuggery legal should embarrass the State.
Live free or die (smirk).

Jumping Jacks She won’t be in office after this election. You’re on the wrong side of history. Someday, people like you will be regarded as Nazis are regarded today … as people who persecuted the harmless out of hate. Wear it well.
Was the guy holding the video camera while shouting at the police officers acting as an activist— or a journalist? Which was it Either way, the cops were refusing to defer to the authority vested in the activist’s — or journalist’s– video camera.
The cops were wearing their blue uniform, their badges and their guns. When dressed like that, they expect to be deferred to. Likewise, when an activist/journalist is holding a video camera and shouting inane and insulting questions, he too expects to be deferred to. Luckily this confrontation in a State House hallway ended peacefully.
Can’t wait until your ass is in jail again Rich Paul. You love to pace the porch of the S.L.A.P all day long doing nothing, so you’ll fit right in pacing in a jail cell. Go luck with life.
GGGMAN What is this, Michael dear? You’re not wishing for Rich to die of cancer this time around? How unusual! I wonder why you’re being slightly less of an unpleasant person today, lamb? It’s not due to the excitement of tonight’s Memorial Day fireworks, now is it dear?
In fact I can’t wait till Ian and Rich are both in jail. The fact that Ian wears striped shirts and Rich wears his sweatpants of the month means they will fit right in. In a institution. I can’t wait, it’s gonna be great!
