The New Hampshire House is voting on a bill that would legalize recreational use of marijuana even though a state commission studying the issue is months away from finishing its work.
The House is set to vote Tuesday on a bill that would legalize the possession of up to an ounce of marijuana and would create a regulatory system for cultivating, transporting, selling and taxing the drug.
A majority of the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee is recommending the bill be killed because a commission created last year to study the issue won't make its recommendations until November. A minority of the committee wants to the bill to pass. Supporters say "The war on pot is over."
