North Carolina revives the possibility of legalizing medical marijuana
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The North Carolina Senate added an amendment to an existing hemp regulations bill that would legalize medical marijuana on Wednesday. The addition comes as the U.S. Department of Justice considers dropping marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III. The original bill addressed regulations on federally legal hemp that has a delta-9 THC concentration of less than 0.3%. The amended version still contains those provisions but adds a plethora of regulations for allowing medical marijuana in the state. It is unclear if the House would approve the measure after the House Speaker said earlier this month that it did not have support.
