Evergreen law guide

New Hampshire licenses medical cannabis through a limited number of dispensaries, and small personal possession quantities are treated as a civil violation. Adult-use retail is not authorised. Hemp is regulated under a state agricultural plan with THC testing.

The state legislature has considered adult-use legislation repeatedly without enactment, so operators should treat the current medical structure as the operative framework.

Business impact

Planning around adult-use in New Hampshire carries legislative risk. Dispensary operators work within a capped number of licences.
