(The Center Square) — New Hampshire’s GOP-led House of Representatives has voted to legalize cannabis, but the measure must survive the likelihood of a veto by Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte, who is opposed to the move.

The House on Thursday approved the legislation, which would allow adults 21 and older to possess cannabis for recreational use and remove any criminal sanctions for the drug, which remains illegal under federal law. The bipartisan measure, which didn’t include a proposal to allow retail sales and taxation, passed on a voice vote. It is now headed to the Senate for consideration.
