House Bill 78 could bring legal medical marijuana to the state of North Carolina. This bill received its initial approval by the House of Representatives. The text of this bill will not have to be approved by the House Committee on Judiciary before it can progress further. This bill would bring a legal medical marijuana industry to the great state of North Carolina. This bill would allow for medical marijuana dispensaries so that approved patients could obtain their medication in a safe and regulated environment as opposed to the black market where they are forced to obtain their medicine from now.
If passed, HB 78 would make North Carolina a leader in cannabis legalization in the southeast. In fact it would make North Carolina the first state in the southeast to legalize marijuana and bring a regulated market into the state for patients. North Carolina has already legalized industrial hemp farming as well as decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana. We can’t help but to think that it is now only a matter of time before the thousands of individuals in the state that could benefit from medical marijuana will have safe access to it.
