Frequently Asked Questions

Is cannabis legal in New Hampshire?

Medical cannabis is legal since 2013. Possession of small amounts has been decriminalized. New Hampshire remains the only New England state without full recreational legalization, though bills are introduced annually.

How does New Hampshire's medical program work?

New Hampshire licenses a limited number of Alternative Treatment Centers (ATCs) that cultivate, process, and dispense medical cannabis. The program serves qualifying patients with physician certification.

Will New Hampshire legalize recreational cannabis?

Recreational bills have been introduced annually with increasing legislative support. Being surrounded by legal-recreation states (Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont) creates pressure to legalize and capture tax revenue.
