Can I get an MMJ Card for my child in New Hampshire?

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.

Please note: We can only offer renewals for one certification for existing Leafwell patients. If your child does not yet have a medical card in New Hampshire or requires a second certification, we are unable to help at this time.
