Republican Governor: Marijuana legalization 'change is inevitable'

New Hampshire’s governor supports the legalization of marijuana for adults age 21 and over.

Republican Gov. Chris Sununu said Friday he is in favor of legalizing marijuana in the Granite State, even as a Senate committee killed House Bill 639 on Thursday.

The Senate Judiciary Committee ruled the bill as “inexpedient to legislate” by a 3-2 vote, meaning the bill would not exit the committee to be taken up by the chamber.

In a statement released just before noon, Sununu said that during his years as governor a bill that would legalize marijuana “has never garnered enough bipartisan support to reach my desk.”
