The North Carolina Senate passed a bill Monday night that would impose restrictions on the hemp industry and legalize medical marijuana.
The bill, which passed 36-10, establishes a legal limit on the consumable concentration of THC that can be sold, allowing edible products to have a THC concentration up to 0.3%. It also allows doctors to prescribe medical cannabis to patients who have debilitating health conditions.
