Today the New Hampshire House rejected Senate amendments to a marijuana legalization bill, moving it to a conference committee for further negotiation. The House passed its version in April, which differs significantly from the Senate's, particularly regarding the regulatory model. Governor Chris Sununu supports the Senate's version, which includes state-run franchise dispensaries, and has urged minimal changes for the bill to pass. "If they want to make significant changes, then it’s not going to pass. It’s just that easy,” the governor said.

UPDATE:
House Bill 1633 (HB 1633) in New Hampshire, which aimed to legalize and regulate recreational marijuana, was tabled by the House of Representatives on June 13, 2024. This effectively halted the bill for the current legislative session, meaning marijuana will not be legalized in New Hampshire this year, and this is a good thing -
