A House bill would legalize small amounts of marijuana and marijuana plants without creating a regulated market.
The bill, put forward by a bipartisan group of lawmakers, would remove all civil and criminal penalties for adult possession of 2 ounces or less of marijuana. It would also allow adults to grow a total of two mature marijuana plants and seven immature plants per household.
