AI Summary

This bill, the North Carolina Compassionate Care Act, amends state laws to establish a regulated medical cannabis supply system in North Carolina. Key provisions include: - Defining "debilitating medical conditions" that qualify patients for medical cannabis use, such as cancer, epilepsy, and post-traumatic stress disorder. - Creating a Compassionate Use Advisory Board and a Medical Cannabis Production Commission to oversee the medical cannabis program. - Establishing a registry identification card system for qualified patients and designated caregivers, and requirements for physicians to prescribe medical cannabis. - Authorizing licensed suppliers to cultivate, produce, and distribute cannabis and cannabis-infused products through medical cannabis centers while implementing security, testing, and other regulatory measures. - Exempting medical cannabis use from criminal laws, providing certain legal protections for patients and suppliers, and prohibiting smoking or vaping of cannabis in certain public areas. - Establishing a North Carolina Medical Cannabis Program Fund to fund the administration and enforcement of the program, with excess revenue distributed to the state General Fund.
