Thanks Mick. I figure it's more likely all those billionaire pharmaceutical companies all over Garner and Raleigh who spend tens of millions on lobbyists to pay off those politicians you mention. I suspect those CEOs are afraid if people find out cannabis is actually a medicine, then people won't spend billions buying their pills. I know for a fact the Dept. of Veterans Affairs drops about 500 million a year on pills. The pharmaceutical companies have a vested interest in making sure weed isn't legal in NC. It's just good business to keep those politicians greased. I figure as long as NC is the nations pharmaceutical capitol, we won't have legal medical or rec weed.
