Opportunities in the NH Cannabis Industry will be Limitless

Recreational cannabis will be legalized in the state of New Hampshire at some point in the future. If we don’t do it right, economic opportunities can be abundant for residents looking to enter and compete.

2025 NH CANNABIS LEGALIZATION BILLS

HB 51 | Relative to Hemp-derived Cannabinoids and The Definition Of Cannabis In Therapeutic Cannabis. This bill would enable ATCs to expand their product offerings by utilizing non-intoxicating cannabinoids (e.g. CBD, CBG, and CBN) derived from hemp. ATCs would be required to have hemp-derived cannabinoids tested by an independent lab before using them to make products for patients. – REP WENDY THOMAS, REP SUZANNE VAIL & REP HEATH HOWARD | READ BILL 

HB 53 | Permitting Qualifying Patients and Designated Caregivers to Cultivate Cannabis For Therapeutic Use. The House has passed versions of this bill 11 times since 2009. The Senate passed it in 2019, but it was vetoed by the governor. – REP WENDY THOMAS, REP JIM KOFALT & REP HEATH HOWARD | READ BILL

HB 54 | Allowing Alternative Treatment Centers to Operate For-profit. NH is the only state that still requires medical cannabis businesses to be non-profits. Since ATCs are not recognized as non-profits by the federal government, this policy has resulted in increased costs for both businesses and patients. – REP WENDY THOMAS, REP HEATH HOWARD & REP SUZANNE VAIL | READ BILL

LSR 87 | Legalizing Cannabis For Persons 21 Years Of Age or Older. This bill would legalize unlimited possession of cannabis for adults with no regulation of retail sales. – REP KEVIN VERVILLE

LSR 168 | Relative to The Legalization and Regulation Of Cannabis and Making Appropriations Therefor. Similar to HB 639 from 2023, this bill would legalize cannabis for adults and set up an independent Cannabis Commission to regulate cannabis sales. – REP JARED SULLIVAN & REP HEATH HOWARD

LSR 169 | Relative to Annulling, Resentencing, or Discontinuing Prosecution Of Certain Cannabis Offenses. This bill would create a process for automatically annulling previous offenses for cannabis possession. It would also create opportunities for resentencing and for discontinuing some current prosecutions. – REP JONAH WHEELER, REP ELLEN READ, REP WENDY THOMAS, REP HEATH HOWARD & REP TOM MANNION

LSR 170 | Relative to Legalizing Certain Quantities Of Cannabis and Establishing Penalties For The Smoking or Vaping Of Cannabis In Public. This bill would legalize limited possession of cannabis for adults with no retail sales. – REP JARED SULLIVAN, REP HEATH HOWARD & REP JONAH WHEELER

LSR 245 | Relative to Therapeutic Cannabis Possession Limits. Purchasing and possession limits for registered patients would be increased from 2 ounces to 4 ounces. This would allow patients who have difficulty traveling to make fewer trips to dispensaries. – REP HEATH HOWARD WITH 6 OTHER REPS PLUS SENATOR SUZANNE PRENTISS

LSR 250 | Relative to Exempting Veterans From Certification Fees For Therapeutic Cannabis. This bill would eliminate the $50 certification fee for veterans, making it less expensive for them to register for the TCP. – REP HEATH HOWARD WITH 4 OTHER REPOS PLUS SUZANNE PRENTISS

LSR 445 | Relative to penalties for criminal violations of the therapeutic use of cannabis. This bill would eliminate the extra felony penalty for diverting therapeutic cannabis (selling any form of cannabis is a felony in NH). – REP SUZANNE VAIL WITH 5 OTHER REPS 

LSR 690 | Relative to Cultivation Locations For Alternative Treatment Centers. This bill would allow ATCs to operate a second cultivation location, which could be a greenhouse, subject to all the rules and regulations that apply to current ATC production facilities. – REP SUZANNE VAIL

“Exciting times may lie ahead for the cannabis industry in New Hampshire. If you are interested in being a part of it, we should connect.”


TIMOTHY EGAN - Chair of BoA
“With 75% of Granite Staters approving of adult use cannabis, almost 70% nationally and now 23 states and the District of Columbia with legalization and commercialization – the time for legal cannabis in NH is now. We are losing NH residents revenue to other NE states, we are ignoring new economic development and potentially damaging our tourism industry. Live Free Or Die?, it’s time to prove it with cannabis.”


JIM RIDDLE - BoA Agriculture
“Cannabis is a great economic opportunity for New Hampshire’s farmers.”


Kyle Connolly - BoA Cannabis Insurance
