AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Maine representatives have rejected a bill to give residents a vote on whether to legalize the personal consumption and cultivation of marijuana.

The bill, which failed to earn the endorsement of a legislative committee, was voted down 107-39 Tuesday in the House of Representatives.

As originally written, the bill would have allowed Mainers 21 and older to possess up to one pound of marijuana. Consumer purchases would have been taxed at 7 percent.

According to the Bangor Daily News, the bill was changed in committee to propose that voters decide through a statewide referendum whether to legalize pot.

The bill now heads to the Senate, where it is likely to be rejected.
