In their wordsVerbatim, exactly as submitted

“Cultivating in cold weather states is very costly and constrained by available space within the current facilities. Opening up additional cultivation space could allow more and wider variety of product for patients as well as cost reductions from increased output and supply.”
— Daryl Eames, Manchester · NH Cannabis Association Constituentssupports
“This would allow for more cultivation and help ease costs on patients who are already suffering enough”
— Adam Normandin, Milfordsupports
“My name is Jim Riddle, Hillsboro, NH. I am a medical cannabis patient. Under existing NH State law, Alternative Treatment Centers are required to grow all cannabis plants indoors.…”
— Jim Riddle, Hillsboroughsupports
“Visions of Grant Wood's painting "American Gothic" with farmer and wife toiling at their greenhouse alternative treatment facility on their pot form. Get real.”
— Daniel Richardson, Nashuaopposes
“The bill should require secure grow sites like the current program requires. This allows insecure greenhouses to be used. The idea of the program listening to the public's input is a joke. I went to some of the first hearings and could not speak at the one in Rochester.…”
— Andrew Shagoury, Center Tuftonboroopposes
“I oppose this bill as it is part of a bigger picture that the business of marijuana has in our state to increase profits. This bill is only going to increase the amount of marijuana available for sale in our state.…”
— Celeste Clark, Raymondopposes
