SHOULD MEDICAL MARIJUANA BE LEGALIZED IN NORTH CAROLINA?

Yes.

The Carolina Journal 10/11/18: Sessions’ new focus on marijuana enforcement may not affect N.C. 

For Harrison, the reason is personal. Her sister died a couple of years ago from a brain tumor. The oncologist felt “quite strongly,” Harrison said, that marijuana should have been available to stem pain from the tumor and chemotherapy.

“It should be an option,” Harrison said. “It’s been demonized.”

Harrison said: “We’ve heard from veterans injured in combat, and elderly grandmothers in terrible pain. It seems that this relief ought not to be cut off. I don’t understand why the [U.S.] Department of Justice would divert resources from the real criminal efforts in our society to pursue grandmothers and veterans.”
