Medical marijuana research bill introduced in North Carolina

Published: April 14, 2003

On April 10, Rep. Paul Luebke (D-Durham) introduced a bill into the North Carolina General Assembly that would establish a research commission to study the medical use of marijuana. The bill, H.J.R. 1038, is the first step toward protecting medical marijuana patients in North Carolina.

Please contact your legislators and urge them to support this legislation: Only you can convince them that this issue is important to North Carolina residents.
