Smoky Mountain News 8/11/21 - Medical cannabis advancing through General Assembly
“I’ve got mixed emotions about it,” said Sen. Kevin Corbin, R-Franklin. “I don’t have a problem with medical marijuana. I think there’s probably a place for it but I do have concerns about enforcement and about smoking.”
Corbin’s concerns about enforcement center around people with seemingly minor health issues, like back pain, being able to acquire registry identification cards improperly, but he also has a problem with the Act’s provisions allowing the prescription of smokable cannabis flower.
“When it comes down to it, I’ll have to look at the bill, but if it’s smokable I’m probably a no on that,” he said. If a bill permitting only oral cannabis consumption for medical reasons advances, he said he’d probably vote yes.
In response to 2020 NC Family Policy Council's question "Should North Carolina legalize marijuana for medical purposes?" Corbin answered NO
B- Supports legalization of medical cannabis and/or decriminalization - voted for but did not sponsor legislation.
Corbin has served in the NC Senate since 2021 representing Senate District 50. He previously served in the NC House of Representatives from 2017-2021 representing House District 120.
