Why Hasn’t NH DHHS Established Rules For Medical Marijuana Yet?

Scott Gacek | Reposted to the GrokWatch News Desk

Meet Joe Lachance.  Joe has a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, two master’s degrees, is an active member of his local Congregational Church and the Republican party, and is married with two children.

Joe is a veteran of the United States Army, having served in the 25th Infantry Division from 1989 to 1992.  While serving his country, Joe suffered an injury that resulted in permanent nerve damage to his back and right leg, resulting in severe chronic pain that persists to this day — one of several service-related conditions he incurred while serving.

Joe’s injuries would qualify him to receive medical marijuana in New Hampshire under a law enacted almost two years ago.  But, like many other veterans, parents, and patients living in a state whose motto is “Live Free or Die,” Joe can not legally access medical marijuana in a state where he is a lifelong resident.

The Elitest Elaine Andrews-Ahern is also a liberal snob.  Shortly after losing her House seat in 2014, she said this about the voters who wouldn’t re-elect her,

Nothing-burger Becomes Something Sauce

Hillary is chauffeured everywhere she goes so no driving record for her, but if there was something there, would some outside group like American Bridge be the one on record for having dug it up like they did for Rubio?

Dilbert: Dick From the Internet

After dealing with a wacky, weird commenter at the Grok over the past few days, the timing of spotting this cartoon is perfect.  Anyone who’s had the misfortune to deal with the former commenter, who I will not name, or who’s run across his ilk, will probably find this amusing and a welcome affirmation.

Black – or white, or Italian, or Irish or female – Like Me

“The term “suitable person” can directly trace its roots to racism and the growing political influence of the Ku Klux Klan in New Hampshire in 1923. Gov. Maggie Hassan has threatened to veto this bill, which has passed both the House and Senate. Yet it would be a mistake to let this racist relic remain … Read more

A Few Things I’ve Learned About Republicans

Jennifer HornAs long as I have been around politics in NH I have learned one single, unwavering thing about the Republican Party. They never have enough money. Money is THE issue in every race every time no matter whether it is true or not. That is the same song they sing over and over again.

Here is how it goes…

Notable Quote – Daniel Greenfield

“The nation can’t survive turning into Baltimore. The city is subsidized by Maryland taxpayers, a state full of bedroom communities for consultants and employees of the Federal government. Maryland didn’t become the richest state in America through entrepreneurship and hard work, but by siphoning off massive Federal spending. Billions have already been “massively invested” in … Read more
