There is a lot of good news in New Hampshire on the medical marijuana issue.
There were 24 NH state senator in the 2011-2012 session in NH. Of the 24 senators, 16 or 2/3s of them voted for medical marijuana including 11 of the 19 Republicans and 5 of the 5 Democrats. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, they all didn't vote for medical marijuana at the same time.

More good news, Groen, Fenton (r) switched sides. While he originally was opposed to medical marijuana, logic convinced him to support it. More bad news, D'Allesandro, Lou (d) and Larsen, Sylvia (d) switched sides because (the rumor is that) they didn't want to embarrass Governor John Lynch (d) by overriding his veto.
There is a good chance that Reagan, John (r) will replace Barnes, Jr., John (r) as Barnes is retiring and wants Reagan to replace him. Reagan supports medical marijuana. Several Republicans in swing districts are retiring. More than likely, in the majority of those districts, a senator supporting medical marijuana will be elected. D'Allesandro, Lou (d) flip flops on the issue but he faces a Republican opponent who is in favor of medical marijuana.
My guess is the NH Senate will be more in favor of medical marijuana next session and of the 4 top gubernatorial candidates, 2, if not 3, support medical marijuana.
