New Hampshire's House isn't giving up on the idea of legalizing small amounts of marijuana.

Members of the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee are holding a work session Tuesday on legislation that would allow adults to buy and use an ounce or less of the drug. The bill would regulate the purchase and use of marijuana and tax wholesalers $45 per ounce sold to retailers. The House voted to study the measure, which would have to be introduced as a new bill in the next session.

The House voted to decriminalize one-quarter ounce or less of the drug this session, but the Senate killed the bill. Gov. John Lynch had said he would veto it if it reached his desk.
