The NCCPN In conjunction with groups across the State gather as a united front for the reform of marijuana laws in NC. Official Event Schedule has been released.


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – Oct 19, 2010 – On October 23rd, 2010 at 10:00 AM grassroots Marijuana activists from across the state will gather to Rally at the Raleigh State Capitol , Halifax Mall, in support of changing NC law. The main Goal of the Event is to unite ALL groups who are working for many different agenda's in the movement, and gather NC Voters for discussion, debate, and fellowship. US Senate Candidate Mike Beitler is the Featured Speaker for the Event. The Medical movement has gained ground in NC, but there are many other student and activist groups in the State who are fully in support of responsible adult use under a taxed and regulated environment, as well as Green Energy groups who support the legalization of Agricultural Hemp, which is now legal for import in the United States from China and other countries.
The NCCPN, a Secretary of State licensed group in NC, will be actively working with the Legislature in January to re-introduce the " NC Medical Marijuana Act" . A recent release in the Chapel Hill Tarheel Daily News quotes NC House Rep. Pricey Harrison as the sponsor who will represent the Medical Movement. The NCCPN permitted and planned the Event.
