Bill > HB1321

This bill proposes several modifications to North Dakota's medical marijuana regulations. First, it increases the allowable amount of marijuana that registered medical marijuana patients can purchase and possess. For standard registry card holders, the monthly purchase limit increases from 2.5 to 3 ounces, and the possession limit increases from 3 to 4.5 ounces. For patients with an enhanced registry card (typically those with conditions like cancer), the monthly purchase limit increases from 6 to 9 ounces, and the possession limit increases from 7.5 to 11.25 ounces. The bill also raises the maximum tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration limit from 6,000 to 9,000 milligrams per thirty-day period. Additionally, the legislation extends the duration of registry identification cards from one to two years, providing longer-term validity for medical marijuana patients and caregivers. Finally, the bill reduces the renewal fees for compassion centers (medical marijuana dispensaries and manufacturing facilities), lowering the dispensary fee from $90,000 to $81,000 and the manufacturing facility fee from $110,000 to $100,000. These changes aim to provide more flexibility and accessibility for medical marijuana patients in North Dakota while slightly reducing operational costs for medical marijuana facilities.
