Cannabis has been demonstrated to be of therapeutic value for a number of medical conditions such as pain, PTSD and others.
The Therapeutic Cannabis Program, administered by the NH Department of Health and Human Services, (DHHS) has been operational for more than five years. The therapeutic cannabis statute creates an exemption in N.H. state law from criminal penalties for the possession of cannabis by qualifying patients and caregivers.
