We need farmers growing hemp.
Just another example of liberal tyranny.
No way this stands up to legal challenges
Sounds like a bill of attainder.
Only applies to certain people.
So just buy it in New Hampshire.
Not surprisingly,in the presidential race, Vice President Kamala Harris was the favorite among Newtonians, who gave her 77 percent of the city’s vote. Former President Donald Trump got 18.3 percent.

Who gives a fig?
Whatever happened to age discrimination among adults?
I hate tobacco. But it’s legal. Outlawing its sale to someone born after x, but not one day before x doesn’t pass the smell test. If it’s legal for one, it’s legal for all. How is this different from, say, outlawing its sale to blacks?
You don’t understand the gravity of the situation.
Laughable really. Did any of these idiots actually go to law school? If they did they should demand a refund.
She must have given up sex for a month! Or does it work the other way around? I can never remember.
Bet they can still buy pot though...
The war on tobacco continues while they push pot on us now.
One possible solution could be to prohibit the large scale domestic production, sale and importation of cigarettes into the country. Period This means that it is OK if a person lives in a climate area to grow your own tobacco for personal use. OK if a person wants to travel abroad and bring back a suitcase full of cigarettes. People would not be able to go to the local convenience store to buy cigarettes because they just wouldn’t be there. This would probable reduce the consumption of cigarettes by 99+ %. Would need to give the tobaccco farmers some lead time to change to another crop.
I hope not ... Smoking is loathsome. Tyranny is worse. This is tyranny.
A fun fact...a few years ago there was a huge controversy regarding a guy who wanted to open a gun shop in town. Residents and politicians went wild. No way,Jose!,they chanted...in unison,or course.
But just a few months earlier they approved a marijuana shop with no problem at all.
So in this town they approved a shop that was openly violating Federal law (marijuana is totally illegal under Federal law) yet they turned down a shop that specifically protected by an Amendment to the Constitution. s
coca, hemp and opium plants seem to be profitable.
Being a lifelong resident of The Gay State (Massachusetts) I can guarantee you that there’s not a judge in this state that would rule to strike down such a law. I suppose Federal courts might be different.
I hate tobacco but I love my God-given rights and that they are enshrined in the US Constitution. If this is allowed for this horrible plant what next?
