The Status of Cannabis Legalization in NH

In recent New Hampshire cannabis news, HB 431 was heard by
the state’s legislators. This bill permits qualifying patients and
designated caregivers to home-cultivate cannabis for therapeutic use.
Registered patients would be permitted to grow up to six plants, of
which 3 may be mature at one time.

Signed into law by then Gov. Maggie
Hassan in 2013, the medical cannabis program has been alive and well in
the Live Free or Die State. Though medical cannabis flies in the Granite
State, recreational use is still an issue, with advocates pushing to
see a change in the 2020 election, which does not look good. Meanwhile,
citizens feel otherwise, according to the University of New Hampshire Poll, reporting up to 68% of New Hampshire residents support recreational use.

The 2019 poll report reads that “the
issue of legalizing marijuana in New Hampshire has been subject to
debate for years.” The poll report continues, noting regional cannabis
allies who feel the same. “In recent years, all of New Hampshire’s
neighbors–Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Canada have legalized
marijuana for recreational purposes.”

While advocates argue that officials
must be more progressive when it comes to politics and cannabis,
officials met them halfway in 2017, decriminalizing the drug for
possession of small amounts. While recreational use hangs in the
balance, New Hampshire has rolled out a solid medical cannabis program
for eligible patients.

Medical cannabis recently became available in Texas, although low-THC CBD oil has been permitted for epilepsy
therapy since 2015. Although SB 399, the Texas Compassionate Use Act,
was signed by Governor Abbot in June 2015, application was slow and the
law is one of the country’s most restrictive. This law enables access to
low-THC cannabis for some patients. Cannabis products are regarded as
low-THC if they contain at least 10 percent cannabidiol, but Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol does not exceed 0.5 percent. Texas state law 
has expanded the conditions that qualify for the medical use of low-THC
cannabis. The law prohibits dried flower smoking and home cultivation
of cannabis limiting use to only products that can be swallowed.

To get a medical cannabis card in 2022, you must: (1) be a permanent
resident of Texas, (2) be diagnosed with a qualifying medical condition
from a licensed medical marijuana physician, (3) have medical marijuana
prescriptions from two distinct qualified physicians to legally qualify
for medical cannabis oil in Texas.

Contact with the patient is not essential for the secondary
physician. The primary doctor may discuss the situation of the patient
for authorization with a secondary doctor. There’s no limit on age.
Patients are not required to register or pay a fee under the law. In the
Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT), however, patient data will
be maintained. Patients must meet monthly with the neurologist who
approved their cannabis therapy to obtain continuing access to tinctures of cannabis oil.

The Compassionate Use Act supplied for four dispensaries to be licensed. These are:

Compassionate Cultivation

Surterra Texas

Fluent – Schulenburg

As of the beginning of 2021, there are 11 open dispensaries
throughout Texas that can fill your cannabis prescription run by Knox,
Compassionate Cultivation, Surterra and Fluent. Both cannabis and CBD
oils are accessible through these retailers. Many patients were
prescribed cannabis oil even under these narrow conditions and had it
delivered to their homes. This is likely to be done by many more in the
future. Patients can check the website of the State Department of Public
Safety for an accredited doctor in Texas.

In April 2021, House Bill 1535
passed, allowing expansions to the medical marijuana program in Texas.
This bill added new qualifying conditions for medical cannabis including
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in veterans as well as chronic
pain that would otherwise be treated with opioids. Additionally, the
allowable THC content in medical cannabis products used to be set at
0.5% and is now being increased to a more potent 5% by no later than
December 1, 2021.

With the passing of this bill,
medical cannabis research will be allowed for some designated medical
cannabis conditions under Texas law.
