Bill > HB190

This bill increases the therapeutic cannabis possession limits for qualifying patients and their designated caregivers in New Hampshire from 2 to 4 ounces of usable cannabis. The legislation modifies existing law to allow patients and caregivers to possess and obtain a larger amount of cannabis for medical purposes without facing arrest, prosecution, or penalties. Specifically, the bill changes multiple sections of the state's legal code to reflect the new 4-ounce limit, including provisions about obtaining cannabis from alternative treatment centers and potential consequences for exceeding possession limits. The changes apply to both the total amount of usable cannabis a qualifying patient can possess and the amount they can obtain within a 10-day period. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, and while it may have some indeterminable fiscal impact on state and local government systems, it does not create any direct new costs or revenue. The primary intent is to provide more flexibility for patients using cannabis for therapeutic purposes by increasing their legal possession limits.
