New Hampshire's Senate is considering a House-passed a bill that would protect industrial hemp from being tagged as an illicit drug.

The House tried last year to get the Senate to agree to a similar bill, but the Senate instead voted to study the measure. The Senate holds a hearing on the bill Thursday.

The latest House bill would forbid industrial hemp, a botanical cousin to marijuana, from being listed as a controlled substance.
