- 2021: In August 2021, revisions for the state’s limited medical program were approved by legislation. Senate Bill 711 will enact the North Carolina Compassionate Care Act that allows individuals with qualifying medical conditions to register to use and safely access medical cannabis through a regulated medical cannabis supply system.
- This and several other bills are expected to be finalized in 2022.
