Could North Carolina legalize medical marijuana?
Marijuana would be legalized for medical use in North Carolina with a physician’s prescription and purchased through dozens of tightly regulated dispensaries in a measure receiving initial approval Thursday in the Senate.
The legislation, which received strong bipartisan support, could help people facing more than a dozen different “debilitating medical conditions” in which their doctor declares the health benefits of smoking or consuming cannabis outweigh the risks.

Science and widespread experience have shown marijuana has no significant harms. Those who shout about serious harms are lying. Polls show 68 percent of all Americans want to end the monstrously destructive, insane war on marijuana consumers. – 75 percent say leave it up to the states. More than 90 percent approve of medical marijuana. Now, even a majority of Republicans want to end this sick, witch hunt. – So why do we still have it? ———— Because police and prosecutors build their careers and empires on the fraudulent marijuana prohibition. Because industries like alcohol and pharmaceuticals don’t want the competition. Because other interests like the bogus "treatment" quacks, the drug testing industry and the prison industries depend on it for their life’s blood. Because many banks and shaky corporations couldn’t exist without the laundered money. Because it’s a Republican tool weaponized by Richard Nixon to attack and oppress Blacks and ’hippies.’ — But we’re still winning. 8^)
Then they lie about "marijuana poisonings and hospital visits for children." — FIRST, something has to be a poison to be poisoned by it. NO ONE has ever died from consuming marijuana. — Novice consumers sometimes take too much, feel ill, get scared and go to the hospital, but they are never in any danger. – The "treatment" they get when they go to the hospital is a couple of hours rest (a couple more for edibles) with, perhaps, a mild sedative for the scare. Then, they are good to go – every time. — This rarely happens with experienced consumers. If it does, they know they will do better just lying down at home for a while. — SHAME on all the liars that pretend to tell the facts!
All the states don’t have it, have it anyway.
It definitely helps me
Shouldn’t never been illegal in the first place
It is a great news! But it would be better to fully legalize a medical marijuana.
full legalization is better; this is just step 1

They are concerned about traffic fatalities? Then why do they love alcohol so much?
Lol covid19 gave me ptsd now give me weed please 🙏
All the sudden my back hurt😅
Green Pride🌲🌲🌲🌲
There goes this mother f***** pulling facts out of his ass talking about weed related poisoning….smh
The "news" people say "states where marijuana use is legal have higher rates of traffic fatalities." – This is a propaganda lie. – Even if it were true, it doesn’t mean marijuana caused those fatalities. Correlation does NOT equal causation! — Marijuana is not alcohol. The preponderance of the research shows marijuana consumption is NOT a significant cause of auto accidents.
In 2015, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, found that while drunken driving dramatically increased the risk of getting into an accident, there was no evidence that using marijuana heightened that risk.
In fact, the report found that drivers who had recently consumed marijuana were no more likely to crash than drivers who were not under the influence of any alcohol or drugs.
This why N.C. and some other states don’t have comment sections after their "news" stories. They don’t want anyone calling them on their lies. — Now we have to go to YouTube to get the truth.
Thank god ima disabled veteran i need this to happen
Its eventually going to happen
Why stay in a state that doesn’t let you have a referendum?
I have visited North Carolina and based on what I saw I’m not sure it’s a good idea for them to be given dope.

Well that’s retarded you can’t get it for chronic pain apparently but I come from a state that’s legal and now I’m going to state does not legal it helped me out so much that’s really blows it should just be fragile illegal like Canada at this point the hell’s going on if gay people can get married I mean we should be legal come on now
Legalize, and then do proper education on the risks and negative effects. BECAUSE THERE AAARE NEGATIVE EFFETS. But if you do that, then the risk of injury or death while being impaired goes way down.
These "news" people lie about marijuana causing traffic accidents, saying legalized states have more accidents than non-legalized states. — They threw this deception together because they CAN’T say marijuana CAUSES accidents. They try to make you think correlation equals causation. WRONG. There are thousands of variables that cause accident rates to change. —— Marijuana is not alcohol.

It is being dumbed down. THC is not the only chemical, this would also allow more research.
Always some stupid statistic they bring out to justify not legalizing. Sleeping pills can cause a traffic collision too and you can go buy a whole bottle at the closest dollar store.
In North Carolina, the statewide general election is Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022. Don’t forget to vote Independent/3rd party first and Democrat second.
All this just to get permission to use a natural plant.

Sorry to tell everyone but Big pharma has stopped this bill sorry N.C. and is in fact working on making it illegal again

Believe it when I see it, but hey they know in another 18 months we will just go across the border to Virginia. 😎👍
Need South Carolina to get on board
