Minors under 18 can qualify for a New Hampshire medical marijuana card with consent from a custodial parent or legal guardian.
New Hampshire law requires the following for minor patients:
- The minor patient must be a resident of New Hampshire.
- The minor patient must be diagnosed by two medical providers, one of whom must be a pediatrician, as having a qualifying medical condition that is listed in NH law.
- Receive two written certifications completed by two medical providers, one of whom must be a pediatrician.
- Minors may have two designated caregivers, both of whom must be the patient's custodial parent or legal guardian.
- The custodial parent or legal guardian:
- Must apply and be approved as the minor’s Designated Caregiver.
- Must be at least 21 years old.
- Must never have been convicted of a felony.
- Both the patient and the caregiver must be issued a Registry ID Card by the Therapeutic Cannabis Program.
- The Designated Caregiver must purchase and control the possession and frequency of use of the minor patient’s cannabis.
