New Hampshire's marijuana legalization landscape is evolving as Gov. Chris Sununu (R) signs a bill creating a commission to develop legislation for state-operated cannabis stores.

Initially centered on studying state-run cannabis stores, the bill gained traction and an amendment now requires the commission to draft a comprehensive legalization proposal based on their findings, reported Marijuana Moment.

Governor Sununu said: "New Hampshire has an opportunity to safely regulate the sale of marijuana with a model few others can provide. By establishing a commission to study state-controlled sales, this bill will bring stakeholders from across New Hampshire together to ensure that preventing negative impacts upon kids remains our number one priority.”
