This bill proposes to amend the current laws regarding the possession limits of therapeutic cannabis for qualifying patients and their designated caregivers. Specifically, it increases the allowable possession limit from 2 ounces to 4 ounces of usable cannabis. Additionally, it raises the amount that can be obtained within a 10-day period from 2 ounces to 4 ounces. The legal language changes include the deletion of "Two" and the insertion of "Four" in multiple sections of the law, including RSA 126-X:2, I-II and RSA 126-X:8, XIII(b).

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that a qualifying patient or designated caregiver may face penalties, including the revocation of their registry identification card, for violations related to these new possession limits. The effective date for these changes is set for January 1, 2026. The fiscal impact of the bill is currently indeterminable, as it may affect the judicial and correctional systems due to the modifications in criminal penalties and statute violations.
