relative to generalized anxiety disorder as a qualifying condition for the therapeutic cannabis program.
This New Hampshire bill expands the state's therapeutic cannabis program by adding generalized anxiety disorder to the list of qualifying medical conditions. It directly affects individuals diagnosed with this condition who wish to legally access medical cannabis through the state's existing framework. The law amends current statutes to include anxiety disorder alongside other approved conditions and takes effect 60 days after passage. No new funding is required for this change, as the program is self-funded through application fees paid by patients.
