Holds office State House District 112

Position on Marijuana Legalization

WBTV3 - 3/18/2025 - Bill that could legalize marijuana in North Carolina filed by representative from Charlotte

After he filed the bill, Lopez took to social media, where he claimed that “a majority” of North Carolinians want to see marijuana legalized, and called the conversation “long overdue.”

"I fully support the legalization of marijuana, and believe it's long overdue. In addition to its medicinal uses, taxing marijuana sales would create a new revenue opportunity for the state, which can and should be reinvested into communities most affected by the war on drugs as outlined in the Marijuana Justice and Reinvestment Act. I would be proud to sponsor a companion bill in the House to achieve the objectives of this bill." - Jordan Lopez tagged self on 8/8/2024
