Every state has different marijuana laws- they are regulated by state, not federal law. Some states allow marijuana for recreational and medical use, some states only allow medical use, and some only allow certain low THC products for medical use. Most states limit the number of licenses they will grant and the window to apply for them. Getting licenced is never simple- there are very specific requirements and guidelines that differ by state and its usually highly competitive, which is why most successful applicants work with consultants like Dispensary Permits to help guide them. We highly advise you read the guidelines below thoroughly and then consider working with a consultant or using our templates and guides.

The History of New Hampshire Marijuana Business Licenses Marijuana

Medical Marijuana:
HB 573 passed in 2013 which allows patients with qualifying medical conditions to register with the state Department of Health and Human Services to possess up to 2 ounces of marijuana at a time, known as the Therapeutic Cannabis Program. The Department was also tasked to select 4 non-profit alternative treatment centers (ATCs) to grow and sell marijuana to patients. As of May 29, 2015, the department announced the 3 selected applicants to operate the state’s first 3 ATC’s which are geographically spread out throughout the state.

Qualifying Medical Conditions: Cancer, glaucoma, positive status for human immunodeficiency virus, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, hepatitis C currently receiving antiviral treatment, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, Crohn’s disease, agitation of Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, chronic pancreatitis, spinal cord injury or disease, traumatic brain injury, or one or more injuries that significantly interferes with daily activities as documented by the patient’s provider; A severely debilitating or terminal medical condition or its treatment that has produced at least one of the following: elevated intraocular pressure, cachexia, chemotherapy-induced anorexia, wasting syndrome, severe pain that has not responded to previously prescribed medication or surgical measures or for which other treatment options produced serious side effects, constant or severe nausea, moderate to severe vomiting, seizures, or severe, persistent muscle spasms.

Recreational Marijuana:

The state assigned a Commission to Study the Legalization, Regulation, and Taxation of Marijuana in 2018 to research the possibility of legalizing marijuana in the state. The commission completed it’s research and submitted an informative report to the State Legislature. After 26 meetings and hearing testimony from all 8 states that regulate marijuana for adult-use, the commission settled on 54 specific recommendations for the policymakers in New Hampshire. You can read the Commission’s full report here.

On January 16, 2019 House Bill 481 was introduced to legalize recreational marijuana in the state. The bill would establish a Cannabis Control Commission to license and regulate marijuana businesses within the state. Read our blog on the bill here. The bill stalled in the Senate and did not pass out of legislature before the end of the 2019 legislative session. The issue will most likely be picked up by lawmakers next legislative session.
