New Hampshire Lawmakers Continue to Hash Out Medical Marijuana Law

June 3rd

Medical marijuana dispensaries

CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire Senate last Thursday approved medical marijuana legislation, but removed language allowing patients to grow their own and protecting them from arrest before state ID cards are issued.

The House in March had approved the bill with those provisions, so now it goes before a conference committee to try to reconcile differences.

The Senate version also came with several other amendments, including reducing the number of state-licensed dispensaries, requiring that patients get written permission from a property owner before being able to use medical marijuana on privately owned land, and eliminating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from the list of eligible conditions for marijuana use.

New Hampshire Senate Votes to Approve Statewide Medical Marijuana Law

May 23rd

medical-marijuana-Afghani_Kush

CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire Senate voted 18-6 today to approve HB 573, bringing the state closer to passing the country’s next medical marijuana law.

The New Hampshire House overwhelmingly approved a similar version of the bill in March by a 286-64 vote, making this the third time in four years that the legislature has passed a medical marijuana law.

The previous two bills were vetoed by then-Governor John Lynch, but HB 573 is expected to be signed by Governor Maggie Hassan after the bill is finalized in a House/Senate conference committee.

Earlier this month, under threat of veto by Governor Hassan, the Senate Committee on Health, Education & Human Services amended the legislation.

In particular, the governor objected to a provision in the House bill allowing qualified patients to cultivate 3 plants for themselves under strict conditions.<. . . . . READ MORE

New Hampshire Lawmakers Pass Medical Marijuana Bill

May 23rd

NASHUA, NH — The New Hampshire Senate voted 18-6 Thursday to approve a bill that will make New Hampshire the final state in New England to authorize the medical use of marijuana.

The bill is a Senate-amended version of House Bill 573, which a veto-proof majority of the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted 286-64 in favor of  in March.

The bill now goes back to the House, which can agree to the changes made by the Senate, or ask to negotiate a compromise, before the bill can be sent to the desk of Gov. Maggie Hassan.

In the version passed by the Senate, two key elements were removed from the House-approved bill.  Under the Senate-amended bill, patients will now longer be allowed to grow their own medical marijuana, and PTSD was removed from the list of qualifying conditions.

Qualifying medical conditions, according to the Senate amendment, include: severely debilitating or terminal medical conditions, cancer, glaucoma, positive status for human immunodeficiency virus, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, hepatitis C currently receiving antiviral treatment, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, musc. . . . .

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

Home Grow, PTSD Removed from New Hampshire Medical Marijuana Proposal

May 8th

medical-marijuana-jars-labled

CONCORD, NH —  A Senate committee voted to pass a proposal to make New Hampshire the final New England state to allow the medical use of marijuana Monday, but not until the bill was amended to appease Governor Maggie Hassan.

The Senate Committee on Health, Education & Human Services voted 5-0 to recommend the full Senate prove House Bill 573,  which has already been passed by the House with over 80% support.

Two key elements were removed from the House-approved bill.  Under the Senate-amended bill, patients will now longer be allowed to grow their own medical marijuana, and PTSD was removed from the list of qualifying conditions.

Other changes to the bill reduced the number of authorized dispensaries allowed statewide from five to four, added a requirement that patients get written permission from a property owner before using medical marijuana on privately owned land, and eliminated protections for out of state medical marijuana patients traveling with marijuana in  New Hampshire.

The changes were made at the request of Gov. Maggie Hassan, who called severa. . . . . READ MORE
