Residents of North Carolina are Getting Closer to Having Access to the Healing Benefits of Medical Marijuana!
With so much activity surrounding cannabis in the US recently, North Carolina residents may wonder when it’s going to be their turn to enjoy (at the very least) an expanded medical marijuana program with more qualifying conditions.
Keep holding onto hope, North Carolina! Medical marijuana is coming, despite all the challenges and roadblocks. The Compassionate Care Act recently passed the NC Senate, and is headed to the Finance, Healthcare, and Operations committees for final approval. It looks like more people will qualify for and have access to medical marijuana in North Carolina in the very near future!

Who Will Qualify for Medical Marijuana in North Carolina?
As of right now, the only people who qualify for medical marijuana in North Carolina are those with severe forms of epilepsy. These patients can possess low THC cannabis oil, but there are no dispensaries to speak of. So the law is effectively useless for everyone in the state.
However, the Compassionate Care Act expands who qualifies for cannabis with a longer list of conditions. Under the Compassionate Care Act, people who have the following conditions will qualify for medical marijuana:
Cancer
Epilepsy
Glaucoma
HIV/AIDS
ALS
Crohn's Disease
Parkinson’s Disease
And if our neighbor to the North, Virginia, has managed to set the example for Southern states, then a robust medical marijuana program will be launched in North Carolina soon. Virginia legalized possession of recreational marijuana on July 1, 2021. The state now has four operating dispensaries, and patients have access to a wide variety of products including edibles, tinctures, vape pens and cartridges and more.
What Can I Do to Support Medical Marijuana in North Carolina?
There is currently no program supporting medical marijuana in North Carolina, but one is coming. The Compassionate Care Act has made it further through the legislative process than any other bill related to cannabis legalization; a growing number of people believe marijuana should be legalized in some way; and neighboring states are putting successful programs in place.
