New Hampshire remains the only New England state without legal cannabis, despite being surrounded by legal cannabis states (Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts). The state has decriminalized small possession (up to 0.75 oz = violation/fine) and has a very limited therapeutic cannabis program for severe conditions. Multiple legalization bills have been introduced in recent years with bipartisan support, but they continue to face political obstacles. The 2025 legislature saw renewed efforts including bills that passed the House but stalled in the Senate. New Hampshire's resistance to cannabis legalization is increasingly an outlier in the region, and pressure continues to mount for reform.
