Update: HB 185 passed the first reading and has been referred to committee.
Rep. John Autry has filed comprehensive legislation to legalize patients use of and access to medical marijuana.
HB 185, the North Carolina Medical Cannabis Act, permits qualified patients to possess up to 24 ounces of cannabis or grow their own personal supply. Separate provisions in the Act license and regulate the dispensing of cannabis from state-licensed facilities.
Twenty-nine states and the District of Columbia have enacted statewide provisions allowing patients access to cannabis therapy. North Carolina patients deserve these same protections.

When I asked for an anti-anxiety medication, the response I received was, “The CDC doesn’t want us to write scripts for benzos” Even though I have an anxiety disorder ?
The stage that has been set, And it’s set-up to make me sick er
