S.1072

Constitutional Amendments - Cannabis

Introduced·5/4/26

North Carolina S1072 proposes constitutional amendments to decriminalize personal and medical cannabis use.

North Carolina S1072 seeks to amend the state constitution to decriminalize the possession of limited amounts of cannabis for personal and medical use. If approved by voters in the November 2026 election, the amendment would allow personal use without criminal penalty and permit medical use for patients with qualifying conditions. The General Assembly would then be required to enact laws governing these uses.
