North Carolina Lawmaker Files Cannabis Legalization Bill

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

North Carolina is making strides toward cannabis legalization with the introduction of House Bill 413, the Marijuana Legalization and Reinvestment Act. This proposed legislation would allow adults aged 21 and over to legally purchase, possess, and cultivate cannabis, signaling a major shift in the state’s stance on marijuana. If passed, individuals could possess up to two ounces of cannabis, 15 grams of concentrate, and up to six plants for personal use. The bill also proposes a 30% state excise tax on cannabis sales, with a portion of the revenue dedicated to community reinvestment and substance abuse programs. Additionally, it includes provisions for expunging past cannabis-related convictions, addressing long-standing social justice concerns.

Stay tuned for updates as North Carolina moves closer to potential legalization.
