Home Cultivation
Home cultivation of cannabis — recreational or medical — is prohibited statewide in New Hampshire. New Hampshire is the only state in New England that has not legalized adult-use cannabis: HB 1633 (2024), the most recent legalization vehicle, was killed by the House on June 13, 2024 after a failed Senate compromise. Possession of three-quarters of an ounce or less by an adult is a civil violation under RSA 318-B:2-c (a $100 fine for a first or second offense, $300 for a third within three years, and a class B misdemeanor for a fourth within three years), but cultivation of any amount remains a criminal offense under RSA 318-B:2. The therapeutic cannabis program under RSA 126-X allows qualifying patients to purchase product from an Alternative Treatment Center (ATC), but does NOT authorize patient home grow — cultivation is the exclusive function of state-licensed ATCs.

Heavy RestrictionsDispensary Zoning
Nashua has no recreational cannabis dispensaries because New Hampshire has no recreational cannabis market — HB 1633 (2024), the most recent adult-use legalization vehicle, was killed in the House on June 13, 2024. The only legally operating cannabis retailers in New Hampshire are therapeutic-cannabis Alternative Treatment Centers (ATCs) licensed by the Department of Health and Human Services under RSA 126-X:7. As of 2026, the seven operating ATC dispensary locations are Sanctuary ATC (Plymouth and Conway), Temescal Wellness (Keene, Lebanon, and Dover), and GraniteLeaf Cannabis (Merrimack and Chichester); none of those sites are in Nashua. ATC siting in any New Hampshire municipality is governed by local zoning, and Nashua's Chapter 190 (Land Use Code) has not designated specific zones for ATCs.
