Report: Some New Hampshire legislators bought marijuana from ex-colleague

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire’s attorney general says a former lawmaker charged with trying to lure a 14-year-old girl into a sexual encounter also smoked marijuana in the Statehouse and sold the drug to several legislators, but there’s not enough evidence to charge them with drug crimes.

Kyle Tasker resigned in March after his arrest on three drug charges and a charge of trying to lure a minor for sex. He and his lawyer haven’t commented on the charges.

In a report released Friday, the attorney general said three state representatives bought marijuana from Tasker and a fourth smoked it with him. All told investigators they believed he was trying to help people who needed the drug for medicinal purposes.
