RECIPROCITY
Not yet, but legislation was enacted in 2021 to allow a “visiting qualifying patient” with a valid registry card to purchase cannabis in New Hampshire. A “visiting qualifying patient” will not be permitted to purchase cannabis more than three times in a 12-month period absent a statement from his/her health care provider. The state is currently working toward creating a system to serve out-of-state patients in New Hampshire.
