The data reflects a consistent increase in the number of medical marijuana patients in New Hampshire from 2016 to 2022, growing from a couple of thousand to 13 thousand patients. While the number of minor patients remains relatively low each year, the figures for patients with designated caregivers show fluctuations but generally indicate a trend of increasing caregiver involvement over the years.
