So Im guessing this isnt going to be voted on in Nov? Nothing changed with it, and I have not heard anything else about it.
 
I know this is an old thread, but is the group still active?
if not we need to get it back going to try and raise support across nc

im willing to start some kind of website to stand alongside others which we could all print out flyers for and post all over the state with a small amount of general info of mmj and effects on patients health - economy - etc

Unfortunately like this thread, HB 1380 died May 12, 2010. All hope is not lost, but this is clearly a step in the wrong direction.

From mpp.org...

"Last update: October 8, 2010


House Bill 1380, introduced by Rep. Earl Jones (D-Guilford), received a June 18, 2009 hearing in the House Committee on Health. This bill would have allowed patients suffering from debilitating medical conditions to legally use medical marijuana with their doctors' recommendations. This hearing was the first time an effective medical marijuana bill received a hearing in the North Carolina General Assembly. The legislature returned for the second year of its two-year session on May 12, with the bill pending in the Committee on Health. However, the legislature adjourned before the bill was voted on, killing the bill in the process.

Fortunately, the members of the North Carolina Democratic Party State Executive Committee have chosen to take up the cause of medical marijuana! In August of 2010, the executive committee voted to pass a resolution supporting the legalization of medical marijuana at its convention. The near unanimous vote will put pressure on democratic legislators to introduce and push legislation through to allow residents of North Carolina suffering from debilitating conditions to use and possess marijuana if their doctors recommend it."

Thank you Jerry for providing this information for us. It sounds like we are close to where we were before, one direction or another. Did you find anymore information at mpp.org?

I continue to get the same answer from my Rep.When asked to do the research and consider voting in favor his response is.
In my opinion, this bill will not pass.
