In 2021 the North Carolina Compassionate Care Act to legalize medical marijuana did not pass, stalling in the Senate.
As of 2022, North Carolina is one of 13 states that has not legalized medical use of pot. 72 percent of those polled in North Carolina support medical legalization. 57 percent of the population that were polled support recreational legalization. Currently, Delta 8 and CBD, with the federally regulated 0.3 percent THC amounts, are legal in state.
It is likely the bill will be up for vote again in May with a high chance that it will be passed.
The bill proposes that only those with specific diagnoses such as PTSD, epilepsy, cancer, and HIV, as well as patients with debilitating conditions and patients in hospice care, will be qualified for medical cards.
