N.H. Lawmakers Look to Override Medical Marijuana Veto

Concord, New Hampshire - October 26, 2009

New Hampshire lawmakers will take up a medical marijuana bill this week.

Earlier this year Gov. John Lynch vetoed the bill, which would make New Hampshire the fourteenth state to legalize medical marijuana for severely ill people. He cited concerns about cultivation and distribution of the drug.

On Wednesday lawmakers will look to override that veto. The House may have the two-thirds support needed for the override but Senate support is less certain.
