(Also of note: the Sentinel came out today in favor of an override. - promoted by Dean Barker)
With several legislators still appearing to be undecided, the fight to pass a medical marijuana law in New Hampshire is coming right down to the wire. Now that the Obama administration has clarified its medical marijuana policy, and now that the U.S. attorney for New Hampshire has announced that his office will not prosecute patients under federal law, it's clear that a simple vote by the New Hampshire legislature is all that's necessary to protect seriously ill patients from arrest if their doctors recommend medical marijuana.
The House and Senate will cast their final votes this Wednesday, and it will only be necessary to gain two votes in the Senate to receive the 2/3 majorities that would be necessary for a veto override. (The House vote was 232-108, or 68%, and the Senate vote was 14-10).
