David Perry {R} – Campaign website: http://perry4nc.com/
Perry responded to NC NORML’s 2020 questionnaire and expressed support for medical marijuana, decriminalization and adult use. Long answer response: “Once I am elected, I will immediately put forth a bill to legalize medical cannabis in North Carolina. My bill would contain no “sin taxes” and the decision on when to prescribe medical cannabis would be left fully to the judgement of doctors and their patients. I will not settle for being stonewalled by other NC House Republicans and will take to the airwaves to loudly fight for your right to make your own medical decisions regarding medical cannabis.” When Perry ran against Davis in 2018, he spoke in support of medical marijuana: “We must combat the opioid crisis in an effective manner. Way too many lives are being lost. Perhaps the easiest way to reduce the opioid addiction rate is by legalizing medical cannabis. By giving doctors another option when treating pain, we can stop opioid addiction before it starts. States that have legalized medical cannabis have seen a 25 to 33 percent reduction in the opioid addiction rate. Research studies increasingly have proven its effectiveness to treat a variety of medical conditions.”

James Dawkins, Jr. {D} – Campaign website: https://sites.google.com/view/dawkins2020/policies
From his campaign website: “Medical Marijuana is a bulwark against the epidemic of opioid abuse we’re facing as a state and a nation, and instituting Medical Marijuana clinics and shops in North Carolina would absolutely save lives. Every state that has initiated it has seen a drop in opioid addiction and deaths. Recreational Marijuana use could be legalized and taxed, supporting addiction services in the state along with adding billions to the state budget. We also have areas in the Piedmont and the Appalachian mountains that would greatly benefit in the form of job opportunities and tax revenue if it were legalized. We must also expunge all non-violent drug offenses from anyone’s criminal record ex post facto. No one should be denied a job, healthcare, an apartment, or their rights simply for these types of offenses.”
