(From 2/21/2013. Somehow gone missing from archive.org, so reposting it here in order to update https://bikerbillnh.blogspot.com/2013/02/medicinal-mj-on-island-of-nh-final.html.)

No doubt about it: the authoritarians and protectionists in the state already landlocked by successful medical pot are scared *shitless*.

Last session's medicinal marijuana legislative hearings were, aside from the usual hysterical suspects, surprisingly uneventful and productive. SB409 was then passed by the *GOP*-dominated NH House and Senate, vetoed by a *Democratic* (which really ought to be in quotes, shouldn't it?) governor, then overridden by that GOP House, only to fall tantalizingly short of a similar override in the GOP Senate.

This year's HB573-FN, submitted to a *Democratic* House, however, here before the Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs Committee, 2/21/2013, appears to have reinvigorated the Forces of Force. How many were "on the clock," being paid by you, harried taxpayer, to self-servingly lobby your *other* servants to continue infringing your liberty, your self-ownership, your authority over *even your own body*? Whom does the Legislative Branch serve, faithful reader: the Executive Branch and crony lobbyists all with vested financial interests and delusions of superior judgment and the delegated authority to impose it, or the people?
