Just a quick update on the bills. The General Assembly voted last night and the bills have passed the "Reading Phase" whatever that is. Now they have been referred to the Health Committee for debate. So far so good!

No new news...just trying to keep this post on the 1st page. If you haven't contacted your reps, do it now. Also contact Speaker of the House Hackney and Chairman of the Health Committee Rep. Bob England and urge them to support these bills.

Living in the bible belt here in NC i seriously doubt we will have legal medicinal use in the next 8 years or more. I am all for it and made several contacts with our backwords senators and so forth. We have a few things going against us here... Tobacco does not want MJ here cuz they are afraid it might hit them in the wallet and that is just non-sence. Our female govenor is a total idiot and will never sign it into law. This state is to full of older republican voters. My self i would love to see it happen, but i assure you that i will have my good bud regardless of what these older bible folks want for NC. Honestly i see the prices the folks in Cali are paying for bud and i assure you i get awsome bud that is just as close in quality as they buy from the dispensary thiefs in there state. I have never payed more than 150 bux an OZ. for awsome red haired bud in my area. Hopefully by the time bud is legal for us who suffer from chronic pain or terrible illnesses somebody puts a stop to the price gouging i see going on in other states. The only thing i see myself doing diferantly if the law does pass is growing my own stash with out being paranoid of the law. I am an old timer and all i can say is hopefully bud does become legal here for medicinal use or any use for that matter but i just don't see it. Who cares where the bud you smoke comes from indoor grow houses or not. The thing that bothers me the most is you folks in Cali make up stupid names for your bud to get a top price for it and that is crazy. I have to admit you guys in cali are smart to get out and vote and make things happen. You must stop those crazy prices!!!! Put a stop to those inflated prices. You voted for bud so i am sure you can get better prices!!! Bud is to easy to grow to pay crazy prices, i know for a fact In short order, i hope i am wrong and NC gets this MMJ passed. I assure you that people like me will toke on some awsome bud with it being legal or not. I been growing as a hobby for yrs and i assure you I would never screw a friend and charge 350-500 bux an OZ for shit i call purple BS..lmao

MEDICAL MARIJUANA NOT ON PERDUE'S AGENDA

Gov. Beverly Perdue is not in favor of legalizing the use of marijuana for medical purposes. Perdue was asked about the issue Friday at a forum for nonprofits held in Raleigh. The questioner said medical marijuana could produce jobs and tax income and provide relief to sick people. "Right now," Perdue said, "I don't see any way I would support medical marijuana. "Right now," she continued, "every child I look at who's had a problem getting off pot ... I worry about things like that."
