HB 84 was killed in the rules committee by some great Republicans who are tired of getting emails and phone calls about medical marijuana!
House committee kills medical marijuana bill

RALEIGH, N.C. — The House Rules Committee has killed a bill that would have legalized medical marijuana, an effort by House leaders to stem a tide of phone calls and emails on the topic.
It is somewhat unusual to give a measure an unfavorable report. Typically, bills that won't pass merely sit in committee unheard and untended.
"We did it to be done with it, so people could move on for the session," said Rep. Paul "Skip" Stam, R-Wake. He said lawmakers we're being "harassed" with phone calls and emails about medical marijuana.
The committee listened to public comments about the bill for about 20 minutes before voting.
"Today, my purpose is to convince all of you to legalize marijuana for medical purposes," said Catherine Lyles, 51, of Raleigh. She told the committee that she had been treated for brain cancer 17 years ago and was expected to live only five years.
After the committee meeting, Lyles said that marijuana had helped her recover from the illness by getting rid of nausea that wouldn't even let her approach a bowl of chicken soup. She said she began investigating marijuana at the suggestion of medical professionals, who said they couldn't legally prescribe any drug that would work as well.
"It was quite a problem. I didn't know anyone who smoked pot," she said, adding that her mother and best friend helped track down some cannabis through a network of childhood friends.
"I cannot tell you how quick and complete the relief I had from horrible nausea was," she said.
Most other speakers and visitors who crowded into the committee room were there to urge lawmakers to embrace medical marijuana. Only one person, a spokesman for the Christian Action League, urged lawmakers to vote down the bill.
The only lawmaker who spoke at length about the measure was Rep. Kelly Alexander, D-Mecklenburg, one of the bill's sponsors. He said prior fiscal studies showed the state could reap $39 million per year if medical marijuana were legal.
North Carolina, he said, would be the 19th state to legalize medical marijuana if it passed the bill, he said.
However, that won't happen this year.
Under House Rules, when a bill given an unfavorable report, "the contents of that bill or the principal provisions of its subject matter shall not be considered in any other measure originating in the Senate or originating thereafter in the House."

3 years in a row!! Please North Carolina do not put these same people in office again. We have so many sick and suffering people in NC who could be helped by MMJ but our lawmakers could care less. They spent more time talking about making it a felony for a woman to show her nipples than they spent talking about MMJ, how damn sad can it get?

So much for this episode of How The Bowl Burns NC. A beautiful place with some beautiful people BUT ... They don't call it The Dirty for no reason. After being robbed then snitched on by the robber then Busted and robbed by the Police I have fled NC for greener pastures. Their decrim is a joke ... all they want is your Money (and your Weed). I have not existed in a place that had as much rampant Pill abuse, alcoholism, Snitching, or Sexual Predation and I have existed in Many places. They let a Far more heinous criminal/known felon than a humble weed grower Off The Hook for Information that led them to 17 plants (which magically became 34 in the arrest report and News) No Money and very little Stash. The price I paid NC to be able to Post here now and not carry a felony was Huge ... Be Careful down there.
