State lawmakers recently passed a bill designed to expand access to medical marijuana through additional dispensaries, but a bill to allow patients to grow pot for personal use appears headed for defeat.
A Senate committee voted this week to recommend the bill be referred to interim study.
The bill would permit qualifying patients and caregivers to cultivate cannabis for therapeutic use.
The New Hampshire House of Representatives passed the bill, on a voice vote, back in March. The House report on the proposal concluded that allowing cultivation with established safeguards could address access and affordability issues.
