11. Do you support reforming North Carolina’s marijuana laws? Do you support full legalization? Please explain your position.
I voted for SB3, which would have legalized and regulated medical marijuana. I would support legalization of adult use within parameters. In addition to strong protections against underage access, I would like to see strong consumer protection and quality control, as well as the ability for small and local farmers to have fair access to participating in the market.
11. Do you support reforming North Carolina’s marijuana laws? Do you support full legalization? Please explain your position.
I am in favor of legalization of marijuana for medical use and support the decriminalization of marijuana use by adults. There is little reason to continue criminalizing marijuana, and it is clear that making possession and use a crime has resulted in disproportionate harm to BIPOC communities.
