  • Reefer Sanity? Kevin Sabet Says It's Time to Re-Think Legal Weed
    Aug 5 2025

    Kevin Sabet is President and CEO of the group Smart Approaches to Marijuana. He was in New Hampshire to talk to the National Association of Attorneys General about the impact of America's mass experiment with the commercial marijuana industry. His first book was called Reefer Sanity: Seven Great Myths About Marijuana, and he talks to NHJournal's Michael Graham about how New Hampshire's decision to stay out of the pot business may put it at the forefront of new thinking regarding legal weed.

    Graham also gives a shout out to the New Hampshire progressives who've taken a break from chanting "Globalize the Intifada" and "From the River to the Sea" to denounce the handful of neo-Nazis who showed up at the state house.

    Plus -- Why are your energy bills so damn high?

  • Do NH Democrats Even WANT to Win?
    Jul 15 2025

    A new NHJournal/Praecones Analytica poll has dropped, and NHJ Managing Editor Michael Graham talks about it with New Hampshire Institute of Politics (NHIOP) Director Neil Levesque.

    But first, it's Executive Councilor John Stephen venting his outrage at Magistrate Stephanie Johnson and her mishandling of two high-profile cases, including the horrific murder-suicide in Berlin. He says it's time for Johnson to go and the court has the power to kick her out.

    Plus, a bit of rank punditry from Graham as he tries to figure out what the heck NH Democrats are up to.
