Governor McCrory Releases Statement on Bill That Legalizes Seizure Treatment
Press Release
Issues: Marijuana Health and Health Care
Governor Pat McCrory said today he will sign into law legislation that allows for medical use of cannabidiol oil for the treatment of seizures disorders, particularly those that seem to afflict children. Cannabidiol oil is derived from a compound that is found in the marijuana plant.
"This law will help ease the suffering endured by children from whom no other treatments are effective against their seizures," Governor McCrory said. "I want to congratulate the General Assembly for crafting a bill that not only improves the lives of many North Carolina children and their parents, but also provides common sense regulation and facilitates clinical research at our major research universities."
