HB 380 New Hampshire House · 2025 Regular Session

relative to penalties for criminal violations of the therapeutic use of cannabis.

HB 380 aimed to adjust penalties for criminal violations related to the therapeutic (medical) use of cannabis. It would have modified sentencing for offenses involving medical cannabis under state law. However, the bill was tabled on May 8, 2025, after a committee voted "inexpedient to legislate" (3-2), meaning it was not advanced further. As a result, no policy changes were enacted, and current penalties for medical cannabis violations remain unchanged.
