I would vote for this only as a stopgap measure; see my comment on Q2 below.

Does not support reducing penalty for possession to a civil fine.

No

There should be no law restricting adults from personal use of cannabis, and the existing ones should be rescinded. Any convictions previously obtained under such laws should be reversed and concomitant criminal records wiped clean. Anyone currently imprisoned pursuant to such a conviction should be released and anyone who has served time for possession should be compensated.

Responded "yes" to MPP's 2024 survey questions, in support of allowing medical cannabis. Responded "no" to the question about reducing the penalty for simple possession to a civil fine, because he believes there should be no punishment for adults' cannabis use.

An individual’s medical course of treatment is guided by them, their family, and medical team. If a physician's medical recommendation is for the patient to use cannabis for medical purposes and the patient agrees then it should happen.

Yes

If someone is found to have one joint or blunt in their possession a civil fine should be imposed. A criminal penalties for a small amount seems to be excessive.

Supports a medical bill like S.3

NC's legislature should be ashamed at the lack of movement on this issue. Medical bills have not been taken seriously in our state, and it's absolutely detrimental to our citizens.

Supports reducing penalty for possession to a civil fine.

Yes

I support any measure to decrease the penalty for possession, but changing to a civil fine is only a tiny step in the right direction. It should not be a crime for adults to possess cannabis, and it's really no one's business how much of any plant that I possess.
