This bill amends New Hampshire law to ensure that a qualifying patient's therapeutic use of cannabis does not impact their rights regarding firearms. Specifically, it adds a new paragraph to RSA 126-X:2, stating that a qualifying patient's use of cannabis for therapeutic purposes shall not affect their ability to purchase, possess, or transfer firearms in accordance with state law.

The new legal language inserted into the law clarifies that therapeutic cannabis use is not a disqualifying factor for firearm rights, thereby protecting the rights of individuals who use cannabis for medical reasons. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
