Final Vote on New Hampshire Medical Marijuana Bill Expected Today

June 26th

CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire legislature is expected to vote today on a medical marijuana compromise bill after successful negotiations last week reconciled differences between bills passed previously in both chambers.

The bill, House Bill 573,  allows qualifying patients to obtain medical marijuana from one of four special dispensaries across the state beginning in 2015, abandoning the House’s proposal that patients or their caretakers would be allowed to grow their own marijuana.

The vote, expected Wednesday afternoon, is expected to pass both chambers, sending the bill to the desk of Governor Maggie Hassan for final approval.

Governor Hassan has said that she will sign the bill, now that the compromise has been reached and her concerns have been addressed.

“I encourage the full legislature to pass this compromise so I can sign this legislation into law,” Hassan said last week.

“Allowing doctors to provide relief to patients through the use of appropriately regulated and dispensed medical marijuana is the compassionate and right policy for the State of New Hampshire,” Gov. Hassan said in a statement issued Tuesday.

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.
