Here is a snippet of the article:

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) Using and selling marijuana would be legal under a bill debated by state legislators.

The bill's sponsor, Rep. Charles Weed of Keene, told colleagues Wednesday that legalizing marijuana would give police more resources to tackle violent crime.

He also said that existing laws governing marijuana are too harsh and lead to users being jailed with people who use or sell much more dangerous drugs, such as cocaine and heroin.

``If people are convicted for soft-drug use, they're in a problem for the rest of their lives,'' Weed, a Democrat, told the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee.

The bill is co-sponsored by two Republicans: Rep. Steve Vaillancourt, of Manchester, and Rep. Paul Ingbretson, of Pike. Weed and Ingbretson are also sponsoring bills to legalize medical marijuana use and allow farmers to grow industrial hemp, which is not a drug.

Vaillancourt called marijuana possession a ``victimless crime'' and said the drug is less harmful than legal substances such as alcohol and tobacco.

i wouldn't start packing just yet. on the off chance that such a bill does pass, a long shot at best, there is still the fed to deal with. though it is nice to hear a politician at least sounding reasonable on the subject, it's probably just more political posing.
