Bill > SB651

This bill legalizes and regulates cannabis for adults 21 and older in New Hampshire, aiming to allow law enforcement to focus on more serious crimes, generate revenue for public services like education and drug treatment, and promote individual freedom. It establishes a framework for licensing and regulating cannabis establishments, including cultivation facilities, product manufacturers, testing facilities, and retail stores, overseen by the Liquor and Cannabis Commission. The bill also outlines rules for personal possession limits, prohibits public consumption and driving under the influence of cannabis, and sets up a system for taxation with a portion of the revenue dedicated to substance abuse prevention and recovery programs, education, and public safety. Additionally, it addresses the transition of existing therapeutic cannabis programs and makes changes to existing laws regarding drug offenses and identification requirements.
