Text Text

New Hampshire SB485 regulates the licensure, taxation, and sale of hemp-derived cannabinoid products (HDCPs).

New Hampshire SB485 introduces a regulatory framework for the sale of hemp-derived cannabinoid products (HDCPs). The bill mandates licensing for suppliers, wholesalers, and retailers of HDCPs, with specific requirements for each. Suppliers must sell to wholesalers for resale, not consumption, and must conduct full-panel and potency testing on their products. Wholesalers can purchase and sell HDCPs but cannot consume them. Retailers can sell HDCPs directly to consumers, with strict age verification and display requirements.
