CONCORD — A bill that would legalize, tax and regulate adult use of marijuana in New Hampshire was heard before a crowd of more than 200 people in Representatives Hall on Tuesday.

Kate Frey of New Futures New Hampshire, an opponent of legalization who served on a statewide commission that studied possible legalization, said House Bill 481 is irresponsible legislation that does not protect the state, particularly its children.
