Why Support:
HB 1365 ensures that an individual's lawful use of therapeutic cannabis under New Hampshire's program does not disqualify them from purchasing, owning, possessing, or carrying firearms. It aligns state law with the reality that medical cannabis patients are law-abiding citizens exercising a state-authorized treatment.
Under current federal restrictions, many therapeutic cannabis users face barriers to exercising their Second Amendment rights, even though New Hampshire's program is tightly regulated and does not indicate criminal behavior. This bill protects Granite Staters' constitutional freedoms without compromising safety.
Why NHFC Supports HB 1365:
Prevents discrimination against patients using state-legal therapeutic cannabis for medical needs.
Reinforces that compliance with RSA 126-X (therapeutic cannabis) should not strip away fundamental rights.
Promotes consistency between state medical programs and firearm ownership laws.
Supports personal liberty for responsible adults who pose no threat.
