North Carolina’s Cannabis Legalization Bill: What It Means for ONLYZA Dispensary in Charlotte

North Carolina is on the verge of a historic cannabis reform with the introduction of House Bill 413, known as the Marijuana Legalization and Reinvestment Act. This groundbreaking legislation proposes the legalization of cannabis for adults 21 and older, allowing them to purchase, possess, and cultivate marijuana legally. If passed, individuals would be permitted to carry up to two ounces of cannabis, 15 grams of concentrate, and up to 2,000 milligrams of THC-infused products, while also having the ability to cultivate up to six plants for personal use.

The bill also introduces a 30% state excise tax on cannabis sales, with an optional 2% local tax, generating significant revenue for education, community reinvestment, and substance abuse programs. In addition, the legislation includes expungement provisions for certain cannabis-related convictions, providing a path toward criminal justice reform in North Carolina.
