Marijuana Laws and Lessons to Inform North Carolina Policy

While many states have legalized the medical and/or recreational use of marijuana, the use and distribution of marijuana is still illegal under federal law. This conflict creates a patchwork of information that is complicated to navigate. Yet, now more than ever, it is essential to understand and educate the public on the facts about marijuana and implement smart laws that are focused on public health.

In partnership with the Center for U.S. Policy, Community Impact NC has created Marijuana Laws and Lessons to Inform North Carolina Policy.

This resource provides and overview of federal and state laws and policies surrounding marijuana and discusses the impacts of and lessons to be learned from specific state approaches to marijuana regulation.
