On Wednesday, a North Carolina Senate bill that would permit the use of medical marijuana for the first time in North Carolina cleared the second of four committee steps.
The bipartisan Senate Bill 711, titled âNC Compassionate Care Act,â is the latest in a 12-year attempt to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposess.
The bill still must clear â in this order â the Health Care and Rules and Operations committees before a potential Senate floor vote.
Political analysts say the Health Care committee may be the most challenging of the four steps.
The pathway through the state House could be equally daunting, if not more so, according to political analysts.
