CONCORD – Today the New Hampshire Senate passed, with a 17-6 vote, critical drug policy reform in a measure to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana.  Under HB 640, as amended by the Senate, an adult 18 years or older in possession of three quarters of an ounce or less of marijuana would be guilty of a violation for their first three offenses and not subject to arrest. Their fourth offense committed within a three year period would constitute a class B misdemeanor. The bill now goes back to the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

This is an incredibly painful and difficult time for us all.  What happened in Charlottesville, Virginia is deeply disturbing and heartrending.
