CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � A New Hampshire Senate committee has voted 4-1 to recommend passage of a bill that would allow people with crippling ailments to grow and use small amounts of marijuana.



The bill now goes to the full Senate for a vote.



The bill, already passed the House, would allow severely ill patients or their caregivers to grow and possess six marijuana plants, six seeds and two ounces of the drug. It requires doctors to certify a patient has a debilitating medical condition and would benefit from the therapeutic or palliative benefit from using marijuana.
