Bill Summary
Relative to the personal possession of cannabis. Providing that adults 21 years of age or older shall have the right to possess a modest amount of cannabis intended for their personal consumption.
AI Summary
This Constitutional Amendment, if approved by voters, would add a new article to the New Hampshire Constitution establishing that adults 21 years of age or older have the right to possess a modest amount of cannabis for their personal use, a right that does not currently exist under the state's constitution. The amendment will be presented to qualified voters on the state general election ballot in November 2026, and if it receives at least a two-thirds majority vote, it will become effective upon the governor's proclamation of its adoption.
