The process for getting a medical card in New Hampshire is fairly straightforward. First, you’ll schedule an appointment through Veriheal with one of our qualified marijuana physicians. You’ll meet with them for 10-15 minutes to discuss your health concerns. If you have any relevant health records, present them at this time.
When the appointment is complete, the doctor will fill out your written certification approving you for medical marijuana. You can then print and complete the written application from the NH Department of Health and Human Services website. You’ll need to mail your application form, physician’s certification, copy of your state ID or driver’s license, and check or money order covering the $50 application fee to the state.
After your application is reviewed and approved, the state will mail your card in about 3 weeks.

Along with having one or more of the qualifying conditions, a patient must be able to prove they are a New Hampshire resident with a valid driver’s license or state identification card, unless they are a minor.

Getting a New Hampshire medical marijuana card with Veriheal costs a total of $249. Your $199 fee with Veriheal covers your consultation fee, physician copay, and the medical evaluation for your recommendation, with financing options. The state requires an additional $50 fee for annual registration.

Like a cannabis patient cardholder, a caregiver must also be a resident of the state and able to prove so with a current driver’s license or state identification card. A caregiver must be at least 21 years old and designated as such on the patient’s application. Also, a caregiver must not have any felony convictions against them to be registered with the state. A criminal background check is performed on all prospective caregivers.

New Hampshire med card holders can purchase and possess up to 2 ounces of cannabis flower every 10 days.

Cultivation of medical cannabis for personal use is illegal in New Hampshire.

To renew your New Hampshire medical marijuana card through Veriheal, you’ll need to schedule a renewal appointment with one of our physicians.

We will remind you when it’s almost time for your renewal appointment, or you can reach out to our Customer Service Department so we can assist you and apply a renewal discount for you.

A medical marijuana registration in New Hampshire is valid for either one or three years.
