The bill's controls begin with certification by a physician, within a bona fide physician-patient relationship, that the patient is likely to receive therapeutic or palliative benefit from the medical use of marijuana to treat or alleviate the debilitating condition or symptoms as results of treatment. Controls also include restriction of supply for each patient to six plants and two ounces of usable marijuana, held between the patient and a designated caregiver; restriction of designated caregivers to family members, household members or a licensed health care professional; and issuance of a forgery-resistant registry identification card to patient and caregiver so law enforcement officials can quickly and surely identify individuals authorized to possess marijuana for medical purposes.

Practically every session comes a new bill to, in one way or another, to decriminalize the use of marijuana. This time around for medical purposes, even though a doctor cannot prescribe it. A doctor can recommend it but that leaves a person with the problem of getting the marijuana because there is a federal law against the sale of marijuana. A state cannot weaken or over ride federal law. The minority understands quite clearly that some may benefit from the use of marijuana and carry the same compassion but are 47 conflicted by knowing that the legislature makes laws and expects enforcement. Yet here we are being asked to pass a state law that violates federal law and based on law enforcement testimony would create a major problem with enforcement. There is a prescription medicine called marinol and several others that are available by prescription for the treatment of nausea, muscle spasms, glaucoma, HIV etc. We need to listen to and appreciate what the experts in the field are saying to guide us in our deliberations. The A.M.A. says marijuana must be retained in schedule one of the controlled substance act pending for further outcomes, Director of National Drug Control, John Walters, says the use of marijuana damages the brain, heart, lungs and immune system and has been implicated in a large percentage of auto crashes and work place accidents. The Institute of Medicine says the use of marijuana has ill effects on H.I.V. patients on immunity, pneumonia and does serious harm to AIDS patients. U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA) released a report this March that concludes that the younger children and young adults are when they first use marijuana, the more likely they are to use cocaine or heroin and become addicted at a later age. Andrea Barthwell, Deputy Director of the White House Office of Drug Abuse Treatment routinely reports that children do say that marijuana if approved for use is considered medicine and therefore believe it would be good for them. These are prestigious government experts we rely on for their expertise on pharmacological and medical guidance, safe guards, risks, cautions and benefits. As legislators do we have the necessary educational, pharmacological and medical background to over ride their expertise? The answer is we all have compassion to understand pain and suffering testimony but not the medical background to pass such a law as this.

Although opinion of the medical community on the efficacy of medical marijuana remains mixed, I have been open, and remain open, to allowing tightly controlled usage of marijuana for appropriate medical purposes. But in making laws it is not enough to have an idea worthy of consideration, the details of the legislation must also be right.", "I recognize that the sponsors of this legislation, and the members of the conference committee, worked hard to attempt to address the concerns raised about this legislation. However, after consulting with representatives of the appropriate state agencies and law enforcement officials, I believe this legislation still has too many defects to move forward.", "Law enforcement officials have raised legitimate public safety concerns regarding the cultivation and distribution of marijuana. These concerns have not been adequately addressed in this bill. Marijuana is an addictive drug that has the potential to pose significant health dangers to its users, and it remains the most widely abused illegal drug in this State. I am concerned about the quantities of the drug made available to patients and caregivers under this bill, particularly because there are different types of marijuana and the potency of marijuana can vary greatly depending on how it is cultivated. I am troubled by the potential for unauthorized redistribution of marijuana from compassion centers. In addition to patients and designated caregivers, an unlimited number of \"volunteers\" can receive registry cards and receive the full protections afforded under this legislation to authorized cardholders. The provisions made for law enforcement to check on the status of an individual who asserts protection under the proposed law are too narrow.", "There are also many inconsistencies and structural problems in the legislation that would greatly complicate its administration and would pose barriers to controls aimed at preventing the unauthorized use of marijuana. The bill does not clearly restrict the use of marijuana to those persons who are suffering severe pain, seizures or nausea as a result of a qualifying medical condition. The bill requires compassion centers to hold a license to cultivate and distribute marijuana for medicinal purposes, but the bill does not contain clear provisions regarding a licensing process or standards. Compassion centers can be penalized for distributing amounts of marijuana that exceed permissible limitations, without the compassion centers having the means to know how much marijuana the patient already possesses. Caregivers in some instances are required to control the dosage of marijuana without any real means to accomplish this task. The bill leaves unclear the authority of a landlord to control the use of marijuana on rented property and in common areas of property. While the bill contemplates self-funding, there have been inadequate fiscal studies. The Department of Health and Human Services' administrative responsibilities are of such a magnitude under this legislation that the fees potentially would be so great as to deny access to anyone but the wealthiest of our citizens, resulting in potential inequities.", "I understand and empathize with the advocates for allowing medical marijuana use in New Hampshire. However, the fact remains that marijuana use for any purpose remains illegal under federal law. Therefore, if we are to allow its use in New Hampshire for medical purposes, we must ensure that we are implementing the right policy.

Consequently, changing state law will have the practical effect of protecting from arrest the vast majority of seriously ill patients who have a medical need to use marijuana.\n\nIV. Although federal law currently prohibits any use of marijuana except under very limited circumstances, Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Washington have removed state-level criminal penalties from the medical use and cultivation of marijuana. New Hampshire joins in this effort for the health and welfare of its citizens.\n\nV. States are not required to enforce federal law or prosecute people for engaging in activities prohibited by federal law. Therefore, compliance with this act does not put the state of New Hampshire in violation of federal law.\n\nVI. State law should make a distinction between the medical and non-medical uses of marijuana. Hence, the purpose of this act is to protect patients with debilitating medical conditions, as well as their physicians and designated caregivers, from arrest and prosecution, criminal and other penalties, and property forfeiture if such patients engage in the medical use of marijuana.\n\nVII. The people of the state of New Hampshire declare that they enact this act pursuant to the police power to protect the health of its citizens that is reserved to the state of New Hampshire and its people under the 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution.\n\n2 New Chapter; Use of Marijuana for Medicinal Purposes.

A registry identification card, or its equivalent, that is issued under the laws of another state, district, territory, commonwealth, or insular possession of the United States that allows, in the jurisdiction of issuance, a visiting qualifying patient to possess marijuana for medical purposes, shall have the same force and effect as a registry identification card issued by the department, provided that the same debilitating medical condition as defined in RSA 126-S:1, IV exists.\n\nXII. Any cardholder who transfers marijuana to an individual who is not a cardholder under this chapter shall be guilty of a class B felony, shall have his or her registry identification card revoked, and shall be subject to other penalties as provided in RSA 318-B:26.

The following notifications and department responses are required:\n\n(a) A qualifying patient or principal officer, board member, employee, volunteer, or agent of a compassion center shall notify the department of any change in his or her name, address, or designated caregiver within 10 days of such change.\n\n(b) A registered qualifying patient or principal officer, board member, employee, volunteer, or agent of a compassion center who fails to notify the department of any of these changes is subject to a civil infraction, punishable by a penalty of no more than $150. If the qualifying patient\u2019s certifying physician notifies the department in writing that either the qualifying patient has ceased to suffer from a debilitating medical condition or that the physician no longer believes the patient would receive therapeutic or palliative benefit from the medical use of marijuana, the card is null and void upon notification by the department to the qualifying patient.\n\n(c) A designated caregiver shall notify the department of any change in his or her name or address within 10 days of such change.

When a qualifying patient ceases to be a qualifying patient, the family or designated caregiver shall notify the designated compassion center within 24 hours, the compassion center shall make arrangements to pick up any remaining supply of marijuana within 48 hours of receiving such notification, and the protections of this chapter shall no longer apply.\n\n(f) If a cardholder loses his or her registry identification card, he or she shall notify the department and submit a $10 fee within 10 days of losing the card. Within 5 days after such notification, the department shall issue a new registry identification card with a new random 20-digit identification number.\n\nVIII. Mere possession of, or application for, a registry identification card shall not constitute probable cause or reasonable suspicion, nor shall it be used to support the search of the individual or property of the individual possessing or applying for the registry identification card. The possession of, or application for, a registry identification card shall not preclude the existence of probable cause if probable cause exists on other grounds.\n\nIX.(a) The department shall create and maintain a confidential registry of qualifying patients, designated caregivers, and principal officers, board members, employees, volunteers, and agents of compassion centers who have applied for and are entitled to receive a registry identification card in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.\n\n(b)(1) Except as specifically provided in this chapter, no person shall be permitted to gain access to any information about qualifying patients, designated caregivers, and principal officers, board members, employees, volunteers, and agents of a compassion center in the department\u2019s confidential registry, or any information otherwise maintained by the department about physicians and compassion centers, except for authorized employees of the department in the course of their official duties and authorized employees of local and state law enforcement agencies who have stopped or arrested an individual who claims to be engaged in the medical use of marijuana. Authorized employees of local and state law enforcement agencies shall be granted access to the information within the department\u2019s confidential registry only for the purpose of verifying that an individual who has presented a registry identification card to the state or local law enforcement official is lawfully in possession of such card.\n\n(2) An employer, landlord, court, administrative hearings officer, or health care provider that has been presented with a registry identification card by a person asserting that they are entitled to protections under RSA 126-S:2 may contact the department to verify the validity of the registry identification card. The department shall verify a registry identification card to an employer, landlord, court, or health care provider who requests verification pursuant to this paragraph, provided that the employer, landlord, court, or health care provider provides the random identification card number on the registry identification card. In verifying the validity of a registry identification card, the department shall only confirm whether a card bearing the random identification card number is a valid card issued and the name of the person to whom it was issued.\n\n(c) An individual shall be guilty of a misdemeanor for breaching the confidentiality of information obtained pursuant to this chapter, except that department employees shall be exempt for notifying law enforcement officials about falsified or fraudulent information submitted to the department, provided the employee who suspects that falsified or fraudulent information has been submitted confers with his or her supervisor, and both agree that circumstances exist that warrant the notification.\n\nX. The department shall submit to the legislature an annual report that does not disclose any identifying information about qualifying patients, designated caregivers, or physicians, but does contain, at a minimum, all of the following information:\n\n(a) The number of applications and renewals filed for registry identification cards.\n\n(b) The number of qualifying patients and designated caregivers approved in the state.\n\n(c) The number of compassion centers registered in the state.\n\n(d) The nature of the debilitating medical conditions of the qualifying patients.\n\n(e) The number of registry identification cards revoked.\n\n(f) The number of physicians providing written certifications for qualifying patients.\n\nXI.

This paragraph shall not apply in cases where the state or local law enforcement agency has probable cause to believe the person is distributing marijuana to a person who is not allowed to possess it under this chapter, nor shall it prevent the sharing of information if the primary offense is unrelated to marijuana.\n\nXII. The application for qualifying patients\u2019 registry identification cards shall include a question asking whether the patient would like the department to notify him or her of any clinical studies regarding marijuana\u2019s risk or efficacy that seek human subjects. The department shall inform those patients who answer in the affirmative of any such studies it is notified of that will be conducted in the United States.\n\n126-S:4 Department Rules. Not later than 180 days after the effective date of this chapter, the department shall adopt rules, pursuant to RSA 541-A, governing the manner in which it shall consider applications for and renewals of registry identification cards for qualifying patients and designated caregivers. The department\u2019s rules shall establish application and renewal fees for registry identification cards in accordance with the following:\n\nI. The total fees collected by the department for compassions centers and registry identification cards shall generate revenues sufficient to offset all state expenses of implementing and administering this chapter; and\n\nII. The department may accept donations from private sources in order to reduce the application and renewal fees.\n\n126-S:5 Prohibitions, Restrictions, and Limitations on the Use of Medical Marijuana.\n\nI. A qualifying patient may use medical marijuana on privately-owned real property only with the permission of the property owner or in the case of leased property with the permission of the tenant in possession of the property, except that a tenant shall not allow a qualified patient to smoke medical marijuana on rented property if smoking on the property violates the lease or the lessor\u2019s rental policies that apply to all tenants at the property.

For purposes of this chapter, vaporization shall mean the inhalation of marijuana without the combustion of the marijuana.\n\nII. Nothing in this chapter shall exempt any person from arrest or prosecution for:\n\n(a) Being under the influence of marijuana while:\n\n(1) Operating a motor vehicle, commercial vehicle, boat, or vessel, or any other vehicle propelled or drawn by power other than muscular power;\n\n(2) In his or her workplace or place of employment, without the written permission of the employer; or\n\n(3) Operating heavy machinery or handling a dangerous instrumentality.\n\n(b) The use or possession of marijuana by a qualified patient or other cardholder:\n\n(1) For purposes other than symptom relief as permitted by this chapter; or\n\n(2) In a manner that endangers the health, well-being, or safety of another person;\n\n(c) The smoking of marijuana in any public place, including:\n\n(1) A school bus, public bus, or other public vehicle;\n\n(2) A workplace or place of employment, without the written permission of the employer;\n\n(3) The grounds of any preschool or primary or secondary school;\n\n(4) Any correctional facility; or\n\n(5) Any public park, public beach, public recreation center, public field, or youth center.\n\nII. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to require:\n\n(a) A governmental, private, or any other health insurance provider, health care plan, or medical assistance program to be liable for any claim for reimbursement for the medical use of marijuana;\n\n(b) Any individual or establishment in lawful possession of property to allow a guest, client, customer, or other visitor to use marijuana on or in that property. This chapter shall not limit an individual or entity in lawful possession of property, or an agent of such individual or entity, from expelling an individual who uses marijuana without permission from their property and from seeking civil and criminal penalties for the unauthorized use of marijuana on their property;\n\n(c) Any accommodation of any medical use of marijuana on the property or premises of any place of employment or on the property or premises of any jail, correctional facility, or other type of penal institution where prisoners reside or persons under arrest are detained. This chapter shall in no way limit an employer\u2019s ability to discipline an employee for ingesting marijuana in the workplace or working while under the influence of marijuana; or\n\n(d) A landlord to permit a qualified patient to smoke marijuana on any leased property in a manner that would violate a lease or the rental policies that prohibits smoking by tenants or guests on the property, except that a landlord may not prohibit the medical use of marijuana on leased property by a qualified patient through means that do not violate a no smoking rule, including but not limited to the ingestion of medical marijuana or the inhalation through vaporization, as long as the tenant in possession of the property provides permission to the qualified patient to use medical marijuana in the rented property.\n\nIII. Fraudulent representation to a law enforcement official of any fact or circumstance relating to the medical use of marijuana to avoid arrest or prosecution shall be punishable by a fine of $500, which shall be in addition to any other penalties that may apply for making a false statement or for the use of marijuana other than use undertaken pursuant to this chapter.\n\n126-S:6 Affirmative Defense. Except as provided in RSA 126-S:5, it is an affirmative defense to any prosecution of an offense involving marijuana intended for medical use that:\n\nI. The defendant is a qualifying patient in possession of a valid registry identification card and at the time of arrest or prosecution was in possession of a quantity of marijuana that was not more than is allowed under this chapter; or\n\nII. The defendant is a designated caregiver in possession of a valid registry identification card and at the time of arrest or prosecution was in possession of a quantity of marijuana that was not more than is allowed under this chapter; and\n\nIII. The qualifying patient or the qualifying patient\u2019s designated caregiver was engaged in the acquisition, possession, preparation, use, or transportation of marijuana, paraphernalia, or both, relating to the administration of marijuana solely to treat or alleviate the qualifying patient\u2019s serious or debilitating medical condition or symptoms associated with the qualifying patient\u2019s serious or debilitating medical condition.\n\n126-S:7 Enforcement.\n\nI. If the department fails to issue a valid registry identification card in response to a completed application or renewal submitted by certified mail pursuant to this chapter within 20 days, the registry identification card shall be deemed granted, and a copy of the registry identification application or renewal shall be deemed a valid registry identification card.\n\nII. If at any time after the 180 days following the effective date of this chapter the department is not accepting applications, including if it has not adopted rules allowing qualifying patients to submit applications, a notarized statement by a qualifying patient containing the information required in an application, pursuant to RSA 126-S:3, I together with a written certification shall be deemed a valid registry identification card.\n\n126-S:8 Compassion Centers.\n\nI. A compassion center registered under this section may acquire, possess, cultivate, manufacture, deliver, transfer, transport, supply, and/or dispense marijuana, and/or related supplies and educational materials, to registered qualifying patients who have designated it as their compassion center and to their registered designated caregivers for the registered qualifying patients\u2019 medical use. A compassion center may cultivate and possess whichever of the following quantities is greater: (a) 96 marijuana plants, 96 seedlings, and 32 ounces of useable marijuana; or (b) 6 plants, 6 seedlings, and 2 ounces for each registered qualifying patient who has designated the compassion center to provide him or her with marijuana for medical use.

The department shall notify the compassion center in writing of the purpose for denying the registry identification card. The department may grant such person a registry identification card if the department determines that the offense was for conduct that occurred prior to the effective date of this chapter or that was prosecuted by an authority other than the state of New Hampshire and for which the provisions of this chapter would otherwise have prevented a conviction.\n\n(i) A registration identification card of a principal officer, board member, agent, volunteer, or employee shall expire one year after its issuance, or upon the expiration of the registered organization\u2019s registration certificate, whichever occurs first.\n\n(j) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, information required to be submitted to the department on an application for a compassion center identifying the locations where marijuana is proposed to be grown, cultivated, harvested, and otherwise prepared for distribution to qualifying patients, registered caregivers, and compassion centers, if such location is different from the location of the compassion center, and any other department records identifying such location, shall be considered to be confidential information and not subject to disclosure pursuant to RSA 91-A, provided that such information may be disclosed to a law enforcement agency upon request for purposes of enforcement under this chapter.\n\nIV.(a) A compassion center\u2019s registration shall expire 2 years after its registration certificate is issued.

RSA 126-S:3, VIII (d) adds a new class A misdemeanor for breaching confidentiality of information pursuant to the chapter. The Branch does not have any information on the number of new class A misdemeanors that will be brought pursuant to this section, however, the average cost of processing a class A misdemeanor charge in the district court is $51.14. The Branch is unable to determine how many appeals may arise, but full appellate consideration would have a fiscal impact on the Branch. The cost to the Branch of an average complex equity case in the superior court is $506.60. RSA 126-S:5, III, provides for a $500 fine for fraudulent representation to a law enforcement official of any fact or circumstance relative to the medical use of marijuana to avoid arrest or prosecution. The Branch has no information on the number of fines that would be issued pursuant to this section. The Branch also states this bill could elongate trials for the illegal use of marijuana where a defendant raises the defense of medical use. The Branch has no information to determine how many trials will be elongated due to this defense or what the fiscal impact will be. The Branch states if the Department of Health and Human Services fails to adopt rules to implement the chapter within 120 days of its effective date, such an action would be considered a complex equity case, in which the case would be brought to the superior court, which holds an average cost of $506.50 per case. Lastly, this bill will provide no one shall be prosecuted for a marijuana-related offense if his or her actions were in accordance with this proposed RSA Chapter 126-S. The Branch would see savings due to the decreased number of marijuana prosecutions tried.\n\nThe Judicial Council states that, according to the Public Defender, there are approximately ten cases which arise usually from the production of marijuana which is used for medicinal purposes. It could be assumed that those cases may not arise if this bill is enacted. The bill also establishes a class A misdemeanor for the fraudulent representation to a law enforcement official of any fact or circumstance relating to the medical use of marijuana to avoid arrest or prosecution. There is no right to counsel for class A misdemeanors. The Council states this bill may reduce indigent defense costs, but are unable to determine the exact fiscal impact at this time.\n\nThe Department of Corrections states the number of individuals who would no longer be incarcerated can not be determined, however, the average annual cost of incarcerating an individual in the general prison population for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008 was $32,753. The cost to supervise an individual by the Department\u2019s division of field services for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008 was $779. The Department states this bill may decrease expenditures by an indeterminable amount, but is unable to predict the number of individuals that might be impacted.\n\nThe Department of Health and Human Services states this bill will require DHHS to register and issue \u201cregistry identification cards\u201d to individuals qualified to use marijuana for medicinal purposes. The Department would be required to process applications and verify information presented by the applicant, issue registry identification cards that would include a unique identification number, establish a secure internet based system that law enforcement can use to verify registry identification cards, and revoke registry identification cards for violation of the law. The Department assumes that 1 full time licensing clerk (labor grade 11) would be required. The salary and benefits of this position would cost $44,044 in FY 2010, $46,435 in FY 2011, $48,959 in FY 2012, and $51,797 in FY 2013. The Department anticipates a one-time cost to build a secure internet based system of $150,000 in FY 2010.\n\nThe Department of Safety states the proposed legislation will have no fiscal impact to the Department. This bill will require the Division of State Police to continue to test marijuana on non-card carrying individuals and card carrying individuals if they claim they are possessing, cultivating, using, delivering, transferring, or transporting the marijuana relating to the administration of the marijuana for medicinal purposes.\n\nThis bill does not establish positions or contain an appropriation.", "in_text": [], "chars": 64323}, "nver": 0, "namd": 0, "rsa": {"RSA 126-S:8": "/laws/126-s", "RSA 329": "/laws/329", "RSA 329:1-c": "/laws/329#s1-c", "RSA 126-S:5": "/laws/126-s", "RSA 126-S:1": "/laws/126-s", "RSA 318-B:26": "/laws/318-b#s26", "RSA 126-S": "/laws/126-s", "RSA 126-S:2": "/laws/126-s", "RSA 541-A": "/laws/541-a", "RSA 126-S:3": "/laws/126-s", "RSA 126-S:9": "/laws/126-s", "RSA 91-A": "/laws/91-a", "RSA 126-A:13": "/laws/126-a#s13", "RSA 126-T": "/laws/126-t", "RSA 126-S:4": "/laws/126-s"}, "amends": {}}
