New Hampshire has 7 licensed medical cannabis dispensaries in 7 towns and cities, and every one is an alternative treatment center, or ATC, registered with the state Department of Health and Human Services. There are no adult-use stores. Only registered qualifying patients, their designated caregivers and visiting patients with a card from another state or Canada may buy. A patient may get no more than 2 ounces of usable cannabis in any 10-day period.
Below is every ATC on the state's list, the three groups that run them, where they sit on the map and what to bring. For possession penalties and the rest of the law, read our guide to New Hampshire marijuana laws. To compare other states, start at the national dispensary directory.
Every Alternative Treatment Center in New Hampshire
The state's whole retail market is 7 storefronts, so it fits in one short table. No town has more than one. The stores sit in 6 of the state's 10 counties, and Grafton County is the only one with two.
| Store | Address | Town or city | County |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sanctuary ATC Conway | 234 White Mountain Highway | Conway | Carroll |
| Sanctuary ATC Plymouth | 568 Tenney Mountain Highway | Plymouth | Grafton |
| Temescal Wellness Lebanon | 367 Route 120, Unit E-2 | Lebanon | Grafton |
| GraniteLeaf Cannabis Chichester | 349 Dover Road (Route 4) | Chichester | Merrimack |
| Temescal Wellness Dover | 26 Crosby Road, Units 11-12 | Dover | Strafford |
| Temescal Wellness Keene | 69 Island Street, Suite 1 | Keene | Cheshire |
| GraniteLeaf Cannabis Merrimack | 380 Daniel Webster Highway, Units A and C | Merrimack | Hillsborough |
New Hampshire does not have separate city pages in our directory. Open any listing for its map and phone number, and check the center's own site for hours and current stock.
Why the List Is So Short
New Hampshire is the only state in New England without adult-use sales. Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island all have licensed stores for adults 21 and older. Here, cannabis is sold only through the therapeutic program created in 2013 under RSA chapter 126-X.
That law sets the shape of every store on this page. Under RSA 126-X:8, an ATC must be run on a not-for-profit basis. It may not sit in a residential district or inside a drug-free school zone, and no cannabis may be visible from outside the property. So expect a plain storefront on a commercial road, not a shop window on Main Street.
Who Runs New Hampshire's ATCs
The 7 stores belong to just three operators.
- Temescal Wellness (three stores): the largest, with locations in Dover, Keene and Lebanon. The state lists one phone number for all three, so ask for the store you plan to visit.
- GraniteLeaf Cannabis (two stores): formerly Prime ATC, with stores in Chichester and Merrimack.
- Sanctuary ATC (two stores): the northern operator, with stores in Conway and Plymouth.
The 2-ounce, 10-day limit applies to the patient, not the store, so buying from a second operator does not reset it.
New Hampshire ATCs by Region
The 7 stores are spread thin, with no two in the same town. Here is what each area has.
Southern Tier: Merrimack and Keene
GraniteLeaf Cannabis Merrimack is on Daniel Webster Highway in Merrimack, between Nashua and Manchester. Despite the name, the town of Merrimack is in Hillsborough County, not Merrimack County. It is the only ATC in Hillsborough County, the state's most populous. Out west, Temescal Wellness Keene is on Island Street in Keene, the only store in Cheshire County, near the Vermont and Massachusetts lines.
Capital Area: Chichester
GraniteLeaf Cannabis Chichester is on Dover Road, also called Route 4, in Chichester, just east of Concord in Merrimack County. It is the closest ATC for patients in the capital and the towns around it.
Seacoast: Dover
Temescal Wellness Dover is on Crosby Road in Dover, in Strafford County. It is the only ATC near the coast. Rockingham County, which includes Portsmouth, Exeter and Salem, has no store, so patients there drive to Dover or Merrimack.
Upper Valley and Lakes Region: Lebanon and Plymouth (2 stores)
Grafton County has 2 ATCs. Temescal Wellness Lebanon is on Route 120 in Lebanon, a city on the Connecticut River across from Vermont. Sanctuary ATC Plymouth is on Tenney Mountain Highway in Plymouth, between the Lakes Region and the White Mountains.
North Country: Conway
Sanctuary ATC Conway is on White Mountain Highway in Conway, in Carroll County near the Maine line. It is the northernmost store on the list. Coos County, in the far north of the state, has no ATC, and neither do Belknap and Sullivan counties.
If you live far from every store, state law gives caregivers more room. A designated caregiver may normally assist up to 5 patients, but up to 9 when the caregiver and the patients each live more than 50 miles from the nearest ATC, under RSA 126-X:1.
Who Can Buy at an ATC
Under RSA 126-X:1 and 126-X:8, an ATC may sell only to these groups:
- Qualifying patients: New Hampshire residents with a qualifying medical condition, certified by a provider, who hold a state registry identification card.
- Designated caregivers: adults 21 or older with their own registry card, who have never been convicted of a felony, buying for the patients they assist.
- Visiting qualifying patients: people who live out of state, or who have lived in New Hampshire for fewer than 90 days, and hold a valid card from another state, Washington, D.C., a U.S. territory or Canada.
A card from another program has the same force as a New Hampshire card and the same limits, under RSA 126-X:2. Visiting patients may not grow cannabis in the state or buy it from a New Hampshire patient or caregiver. Call the center before your first visit and ask what it needs to see.
Adults without a card cannot buy anywhere in New Hampshire.
How to Get a New Hampshire Registry Card
- Get a written certification from a provider. It lists your qualifying condition and the provider's name, specialty and signature. Providers may not examine you for certification at a place where cannabis is sold.
- Apply to DHHS with the application fee, your name, address and date of birth, your provider's name and your designated caregiver, if you have one. You also sign a pledge not to divert cannabis.
- Wait for approval. Under RSA 126-X:4, the department approves or denies a complete application within 15 days and issues the card within 5 days of approval.
- Renew on time. A card expires one year after its effective date, unless your provider sets a different date of up to 3 years.
Patients under 18 need certifications from two providers, one of them a pediatric provider, and a parent or legal guardian must serve as their caregiver. The full list of qualifying conditions is in our New Hampshire marijuana law guide.
At the Counter
- The 10-day limit: A patient may not get more than 2 ounces of usable cannabis in any 10-day period, directly or through a caregiver. Staff check the center's records before every sale, and each sale is logged under your registry number.
- The label: Every product carries the strain name, the weight and a note that it is for therapeutic use only. Centers may post strain names on their websites, so check online before you go.
- Information on request: Each ATC must keep educational material on strains, dosing, side effects, safe storage and other topics, and offer tracking sheets to patients who ask.
- Possession: A patient may have up to 2 ounces of usable cannabis. Carry your registry card whenever you have cannabis outside your home, or you may face a fine of up to $100.
Where Patients Can Use It
- Private property: Only with the owner's written permission. A renter may allow vaporizing or edibles even when the lease bans smoking, under RSA 126-X:3.
- Not in public: Smoking or vaping in a public place is not protected, including public buses, parks, beaches and fields.
- Not behind the wheel: The card is no defense to driving under the influence. Under RSA 265-A:2, driving while impaired by any controlled drug is DUI.
- No home grow: Home growing is not legal for adults or for patients in New Hampshire.
Crossing the State Line
Maine, Vermont and Massachusetts all border New Hampshire, and all three have licensed stores that sell to adults 21 and older. Buying there is legal under those states' laws. Bringing it back is not. Carrying cannabis across a state line breaks federal law, and in New Hampshire, more than 3/4 ounce of marijuana is a misdemeanor. For adults 21 and older, edibles from a legal state count as a violation only if they stay in the original packaging and total 300 mg of THC or less.
To compare stores next door, see our Maine dispensaries, Vermont dispensaries and Massachusetts dispensaries. Our federal marijuana law guide explains the federal side, and our state-by-state cannabis law guides cover the rules in each state. This page is general information, not medical or legal advice.
Before You Visit a New Hampshire ATC
- Bring your card: Have your registry card with you, or your home-state card if you are visiting.
- Plan the drive: Every store is the only one in its town, and four counties have none. Check hours before a long trip.
- Use the right number: The three Temescal stores share one phone line, so name your location when you call.
- Track your 10 days: Keep your own note of what you bought and when, so a sale is not declined at the counter.

How we build this directory: Store names, addresses and phone numbers come from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services list of Alternative Treatment Centers, which we last pulled in October 2026. That list does not include license numbers, so our New Hampshire listings do not show them. We assign each store to a county by its town, check it against map data and refresh the list as stores open and close. For the rules in every state, see our state-by-state cannabis law guides.
