New Hampshire’s special commission designated study marijuana legalization is in the midst of determining a tax plan structure.
The Granite State prides itself on being a low-tax state, but if the legislature eventually legalizes marijuana, will the New Hampshire advantage apply to cannabis?
Part of the allure of legalization is the millions of dollars that would flow into state coffers.
On a special commission tasked with studying the issue, some conservatives said that if cannabis goes commercial, it shouldn't be viewed as a cash cow for government.
"If we tax it at all, it would be just to pay for anything that would have to do with managing the program,” said Dr. Joe Bannon, a former Republican state representative.
