New Hampshire HB1446 ensures that participation in the state's therapeutic cannabis program does not disqualify individuals from purchasing, owning.

New Hampshire HB1446 protects the firearm rights of individuals participating in the state's therapeutic cannabis program. It states that qualifying patients should not lose their constitutional right to bear arms due to their participation in the program. The bill amends RSA 126-X to include a new section affirming that patients cannot be denied firearm rights based on their lawful use of cannabis for medical purposes. It also prohibits state and local agencies from cooperating with federal actions that seek to disarm these patients. The act takes effect 60 days after its passage.
