HB 1220 granted access to low-THC hemp extract to patients diagnosed with intractable epilepsy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In July 2015, HB 1220 was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncleg.net\/Sessions\/2015\/Bills\/House\/PDF\/H766v6.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">amended by HB 766<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which increased the allowed amount of THC from 0.3% to 0.9% and decreased the required CBD amount from 10% to 5%. It also expanded the number of qualified physicians, increased the number of certified hospitals, and removed the requirement that patients be children.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"where-is-it-safe-to-purchase-weed-in-north-carolina\">\n\tWhere is it safe to purchase weed in North Carolina?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">North Carolina does not have a state-regulated supply chain or any other state-sponsored method of obtaining hemp oil extract. Caregivers must purchase hemp oil extract in a state that offers reciprocity.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"where-is-it-safe-to-consume-cannabis\">\n\tWhere is it safe to consume cannabis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">North Carolina has not placed limits or restrictions on patient consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"is-home-cultivation-allowed-in-north-carolina\">\n\tIs home cultivation allowed in North Carolina?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The DHHS forbids the cultivation of cannabis or the production of hemp oil extract for any reason within North Carolina.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"medical-cbd-program\">\n\tMedical CBD program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">North Carolina allows patients with intractable epilepsy and their caregivers to possess and consume CBD extract with less than 0.9% THC and at least 5% CBD by weight. The patients must be diagnosed by and have a written statement from a state-licensed, board certified neurologist who is affiliated with the neurology department of a state-licensed hospital.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncdhhs.gov\/divisions\/mental-health-developmental-disabilities-and-substance-abuse\/north-carolina-drug-control\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is responsible for regulatory oversight of the Epilepsy Alternative Treatment Act program, and for enrolling registered patients and caregivers in the program. Patients must appoint a caregiver to obtain the extract. No registry card is required for patients. There is no minimum age for patients who can participate in the program, though caregivers must be at least 18 years old.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Caregiver requirements<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Though the law no longer requires that patients be children, it specifies that only caregivers are allowed to possess CBD extract. Caregivers must be at least 18 years old and must be a permanent resident of North Carolina. Only a parent, legal guardian, or custodian of a person with intractable epilepsy is eligible to be a registered caregiver.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once all materials have been submitted, and the application has been processed, caregivers will receive a letter from the DHHS authorizing their approval. Caregivers must carry this letter with them when in possession of hemp extract within North Carolina. They must also carry or keep near the CBD extract a certificate of analysis for the extract that shows it meets the state's standards.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Application process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Obtain a written statement from a state-licensed neurologist affiliated with a state-licensed hospital.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Submit a valid North Carolina ID card or driver's license to show proof of age and residency.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Complete and submit a written <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ncnorml.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/08\/nceata-registration-form.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">caregiver's application<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"lab-testing\">\n\tLab testing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is currently no lab testing required by the state.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"frequently-asked-questions\">\n\tFrequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>How long before medical marijuana is legal in North Carolina?<\/b><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While we can't predict the future, we do know that North Carolinans can't petition to get an medical marijuana initiative added to the ballot. Any path to legalize marijuana would have to go through the state legislature.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What would it take to make weed legal in NC?&nbsp;<\/b><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike&nbsp;in&nbsp;other states that have legalized cannabis for medical or recreational use, North Carolina residents can't petition to get an&nbsp;medical marijuana&nbsp;initiative added to the ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What agency in NC enforces marijuana laws?<\/b><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marijuana enforcement happens at the local level. City police officers or county sheriffs typically make marijuana arrests though state highway patrol officers (troopers) may also arrest people suspected of possession, consumption, or trafficking. After arrest, trials usually take place in local courts.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What are the laws on the cultivation of marijuana in North Carolina?<\/b><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marijuana is illegal in North Carolina so cultivation is also illegal.
