North Carolina Gov. Endorses Adult-Use Cannabis Legalization Plan

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services’ Cannabis Advisory Council called for the legalization of adult-use cannabis in a interim report released last week, and Gov. Josh Stein (D) has endorsed the advisory group’s proposal.

North Carolina is one of the last remaining states in the US without any form of legalization of cannabis.

Notably, while most states have followed a trend of legalizing medical cannabis before enacting adult-use reforms, the advisory group has suggested moving toward full legalization, as setting up and regulating a single industry is much easier than two, and that a medical-only program “could fuel an already robust illicit market without regulation to ensure consumer safety.”

The advisory committee was appointed last year by the governor, who likened the state’s illegal cannabis market to the “Wild West” and endorsed the committee’s plan over the weekend, calling for a “safe, legal and well-regulated adult marketplace.”

“Last year, I charged this group with developing a comprehensive solution to the unregulated sale of cannabis that is based on public health and public safety, with a particular focus on keeping young people safe. This report provides guidance to the General Assembly and makes it clear that a well-regulated market, including oversight and enforcement authority, is a safer market for our state.” – Stein, in one press release
