The House Judiciary Committee is taking testimony this evening on a handful of bills that support or oppose legalization of marijuana in the Ocean State.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The House Judiciary Committee takes testimony Tuesday evening on a handful of marijuana bills.

Supporters of the legalization bill (House version, Senate version) say they believe the Rhode Island General Assembly will vote to approve recreational use, joining Massachusetts and Maine.

Opponents, led by Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin, have also upped their game. (House and Senate versions of legislation would establish a study commission.)
