How To Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Claremont
NC – The path to medical cannabis in Claremont is not carved out yet. North Carolina has a limited medical marijuana law which allows for the use of “hemp extract” for the treatment of epilepsy if recommended by a neurologist. This is extremely limited, as patients and caregivers in Claremont can only possess lab-certified hemp extracts with greater than 5% CBD and less than 0.9% THC. That’s not real cannabis based medical marijuana.
To get medical marijuana in Claremont moving, your elected officials needs to know what’s at stake with the widespread support of medical cannabis from Carolina voters.
Contact your Elected Representatives and let them know where you stand on Medical Marijuana.
