Please forward or share this 5MA with friends, family,and neighbors who care about changing the law in NC to help us expand our reach in NC.
We distributed a survey to all candidates for the NC General Assembly asking 5 questions. We have received quite a few responses. We will keep providing information as it comes in. Here are a few of the responses we have received.
Non-violent sentences of cannabis sale/possession should be expunged following the legalization of cannabis.
Grow more marijuana for hemp
I believe in legalization. I would start with medical first, our county could use the money generated from legalization. Release pot smokers from jail and expunge the records. We have a work force all ready if we do this, NC is a tobacco/agricultural state.
I support legalization of medical marijuana immediately, and will support recreational legalization as soon as there is a roadside test to punish people for driving under the influence, the same as alcohol. In fact, I fully support treating recreational marijuana exactly like alcohol under the law.
If you have documentation on a candidate's stance, please e-mail us at [email protected]
