A New Hampshire legislative hearing this week focused on a bill that would decriminalize possession of up to 1.25 ounces of marijuana, the Nashua Telegraph reported Jan. 24.

“Peaceful adults in possession of small amounts of marijuana do not harm others, but they do occupy our police, clog up our court system and take up space in our jails,” said Richard Van Wickler, head of the Cheshire County jail system and part of a group of supporters attending the hearing before the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee.
