NC Medical Marijuana Act (HB 1380), from author Ben Scales

March 4, 2010 - Town Hall Meeting at UNC, Charlotte - "Patients were the priority in crafting the legislation", says Ben Scales, author of the North Carolina Medical Marijuana Act (HB 1380). Consulting experts in cannabis growing and medicinal dosages, Scales used the best of legislation from legal medical marijuana states, as well as federal guidelines for legal I.N.D. patients, to establish the framework for a decentralized caregiver / dispensary system that raises tax revenue, but allows individual autonomy and experimentation to flourish.

Well, some of us choose to do that and some of us choose to stand and defend our rights. Medical Marijuana will most definitely pass in NC. We just have to educate our lawmakers against years of propaganda and lies. We have been working 24/7 for 2 1/2 years in this state now and we will not stop until patients have a safe, legal access.

Americans, native, immigrants and all have lived with an authoritarian government system for decades, perhaps ever since the civil war severely limited  states' rights. THe new era of America will simply have to relinquish much of its legal authority in order for simple social functions to continue efficiently, and drug legalization will be a critical act in that regard. Until that point however, there's absolutely no reason to risk a trafficking or felony possession charge

NC needs to get ahead of the game and legalize it for whatever specified use they outline. I don't smoke it btw

[tylmartin1988]

i have joints pains and sever depression and smoking weed is the olny thing that helps legalize it we as ppl need it to live its not a part of life it is life legalize it already

I had to move to Colorado! I was born and raised in NC, but I needed the medicine, so I had to move. NC will never legalize medical marijuana!!

@MrCAROLINAKUSH I hope you can get it. My brother has had sever back pain for many years now and uses Vicoden to control it but I am worried he will become addicted. He is as well and he ends up not taking vicoden when he needs to it because he beleives it's worth it to put up with that kind of pain to avoid addiction. So I can sympathise with you and hope NC does what's right for it's patients.

The simplest solution is to allow citizens to grow as much as they need.  However, in NC the law is so convoluted, the greatest penalty is applied to persons caught growing: the state seizes the property and leaves that person homeless. My friend who is dying of cancer must get his from a Mexican.
