Description

The issue so many Granite Staters (and beyond) have asked about: why isn't marijuana legalized in New Hampshire? The ::checks notes:: "Live Free or Die" state?

Devon Chaffee (Executive Director at ACLU-NH) joins Liz to explain just how close New Hampshire has gotten to legalizing cannabis...and why it will probably take some time to get over the finish line. 

Devon brings  numbers to the table, and Liz brings yet another musical reference.

New episodes on Tuesdays.
