New Hampshire just took another step in ensuring its state motto — “live free or die” — is true for marijuana.

On Tuesday, Republican Gov. Chris Sununu signed a bill that decriminalized pot. Previously, simple marijuana possession was punishable by up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $2,000. The bill eliminates the possibility of prison time for possession of up to three-quarters of an ounce of marijuana, and forbids police from arresting anyone solely for low-level marijuana possession.

Sununu’s signature makes New Hampshire the 22nd state to decriminalize marijuana. With it, all of New England has decriminalized or legalized pot.
