Bill > S1072

This bill proposes to amend the North Carolina Constitution to allow for the qualified decriminalization and medical use of cannabis, meaning it would no longer be a criminal offense to possess limited amounts of cannabis for personal use or for medical use by patients with qualifying conditions, provided the General Assembly enacts laws to govern these uses. This proposed constitutional change would be put to a vote of the state's qualified voters during the general election on November 3, 2026, and if a majority of voters approve, it would become effective upon certification by the State Board of Elections.
