This chapter shall not apply to alternative treatment centers registered under RSA 126-X:7 or to individuals who have been issued a registry identification card under RSA 126-X:4 only with respect to the therapeutic use of cannabis; this chapter shall still apply to alternative treatment centers and these individuals with respect to tobacco products.
