NC Lawmakers Propose Relaxed Possession Laws
Some North Carolina lawmakers are taking steps to relax the law when it comes to marijuana possession.
A new bill would legalize possession of up to 4 ounces of marijuana, and there would be no legal ramifications.
One of the bill’s co-sponsors, Paul Lowe Jr, said it’s more about decriminalization than legalizing the drug. “We’re criminalizing more and more people that probably shouldn’t be criminalized. Something should be done, but they shouldn’t be criminalized.”
The rules committee will decided where the bill goes next.
