North Carolina Advisory Council on Cannabis
Background
In June 2025, Governor Stein announced the creation of the North Carolina Advisory Council on Cannabis. Recognizing that intoxicating THC is accessible across the state to all ages, the governor charged the new council with recommending a comprehensive approach to regulate cannabis sales and create a safe, legal market for adults that protects kids.
Throughout the coming months, council members will study best practices and learn from other states to develop a system that protects youth, allows adult sales, ensures public safety, promotes public health, supports North Carolina agriculture, expunges past convictions of simple THC possession, and invests the revenue in resources for addiction, mental health, and drugged driving detection.
