Recent movement
SB624 passed legislature 7/9/26, sent to Governor; not confirmed signed as of 7/22.
Litigation and court posture
None found.
Rules by product type
THCA flower
Not determined
SB624 (passed legislature 7/9/26, not confirmed signed as of 7/22/26) would remove THCA flower from the hemp definition effective 1/1/27; current status of THCA flower not stated
Vapes
Not determined
prose says d8 is 'already effectively restricted' but does not state the vape-form rule; SB624 would remove over-cap d8/9/10 from the hemp definition eff. 1/1/27
Edibles
Not determined
SB624 would impose 0.3% total-THC and 0.4mg/container caps with 21+ and criminal penalties over the limit effective 1/1/27; current edible status not stated
Beverages
Not determined
beverages not separately addressed; SB624's 0.4mg/container cap would apply from 1/1/27 if signed

Next date to watch
SB624 core restrictions take effect 1/1/27 — AFTER federal 11/12/26 cap. Federal date bites first; NH statute follows 1/1/27.
Federal change scheduled for November 12, 2026
State rules are only one layer. Unless Congress changes the enacted provision, Section 781 changes the federal hemp definition to total THC—Delta-9 THC plus 0.877 times THCA—and adds a 0.4 milligram total-THC-per-container cap beginning November 12, 2026. That federal change is separate from the New Hampshire posture above.
