Cannabis Laws in New Hampshire
Is weed legal in New Hampshire? Medical only — cannabis is legal for registered medical patients, but not for general adult use.
New Hampshire allows cannabis only through its medical (Therapeutic Cannabis) program; adult-use recreational cannabis remains illegal, though small-amount possession is decriminalized. Registered patients may obtain cannabis from licensed Alternative Treatment Centers but cannot grow their own. Recreational legalization bills have repeatedly stalled in the legislature.
