North Carolina Marijuana Business Licenses

Medical Marijuana in North Carolina

At the present time, only hemp is legal in North Carolina. In 2015, Governor McCrory signed into law HB 776, which allowed those suffering from intractable epilepsy to use CBD oil.

There were several marijuana bills introduced in the 2021-2022 North Carolina Legislative Session, including NC S711, or designated as North Carolina Compassionate Care Act. Under this proposed bill, the State of North Carolina would be authorized to create a patient registry, which would include numerous qualifying conditions including, but not limited to, HIV, AIDS, Parkinson’s disease, and a terminal illness when the patient’s remaining life expectancy is less than six months. In addition, this bill will establish a nine (9) member commission, known as the Medical Cannabis Production Commission, to create the regulatory framework over the licensing process and establishment qualifications. The provisions of this bill will allow the Medical Cannabis Production Commission to grant ten (10) medical cannabis supplier licenses.

The North Carolina Senate is expected to take up the bill during the 2022 short session, which starts this spring. If the bill passes in the Senate in spring, it will then go to the House for approval, which would be the farthest step a medical marijuana bill has ever made.
