New Hampshire Poised to Legalize Medical Marijuana

June 19th

CONCORD, NH — New Hampshire is poised to become the final New England state to authorize the medical use of marijuana after a compromise was reached Tuesday between the Republican-controlled Senate and Democratic-controlled House on a bill already passed by both chambers.

Both chambers of the New Hampshire legislature have already voted to pass House Bill 573, but because of changes made by the Senate, a compromise between the two chambers needed to be reached by Thursday.

In the compromise reached Tuesday, the number of dispensaries allowed in the state was reduced from five to four, medical marijuana patients will not be permitted to grow their own marijuana, and post-traumatic stress disorder was removed from the list of qualifying conditions for the medical marijuana program.

House lawmakers, who approved a version of the medical marijuana bill that included home cultivation of up to three marijuana plants by patients with a veto-proof  286-64 vote in March, agreed to drop the home cultivation provision in exchan. . . . . READ MORE

New Hampshire Medical Marijuana Talks: Home Cultivation, PTSD Out

June 18th

CONCORD, NH —  Home cultivation and post-traumatic stress disorder are both out of New Hampshire’s pending medical marijuana law — for now.

In a negotiation session between both chambers of the New Hampshire legislature Tuesday,  House lawmakers agreed to drop the home-grown provision, in exchange for having an oversight commission start work as soon as the bill is enacted.

They also agreed to not include post-traumatic stress disorder as a qualifying medical condition.

The two chambers much negotiate a compromise between the two versions of House Bill 573, which the legislature has already voted to pass. But because of amendments in the Senate to make the bill more appealing to Gov. Maggie Hassan (D), lawmakers must agree on the final language of the bill before the legislative session ends on Thursday.

Now, despite the loss of home cultivation and PTSD as a qualifying condition, medical marijuana is closer to becoming a reality in the Granite State, the only state in New England that does not currently allow the medical use of marijuana.

New Hampshire Patients Plea to Keep Home Cultivation in Medical Marijuana Bill

May 10th

CONCORD, NH — A former congressional candidate suffering from Hodgkin’s Lymphoma has posted a plea YouTube to New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan, asking her to reconsider prohibiting medical marijuana patients to grow their own medicine.

“Let the patients grow their three plants,” says Hardy Macia, a former Libertarian candidate for Congress in New Hampshire’s 2nd District. “It’s not going to affect the market share of marijuana on the market here in New Hampshire because people can get it regardless. Think about the people, think about the patients, ignore the police unions. You really need to do this for the state.”

Macia recorded the video from his hospital bed, where he is undergoing treatment for lymphoma.  He estimates that he only expects to live one or two more months, and is unlikely to see legal medical marijuana become a reality in his home state of New Hampshire.

A veto-proof majority of the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted 286-64 in favor of House Bill 573 in March.  As adopted by the H. . . . . READ MORE
