Protecting North Carolina’s kids and our state's health, industry and public safety

North Carolinians Against Legalizing Marijuana is a grassroots coalition made up of concerned citizens, parents, healthcare professionals, pastors, educators, treatment providers, law enforcement, and other professionals.

Legal Marijuana will destroy our communities.

If every voting member could see what I see, the end point of legislation, you would not be able to vote to pass any cannabis laws. I promise that your state does not have enough addiction treatment facilities or adolescent psychiatric inpatient facilities (the number one adolescent diagnosis in treatment facilities is cannabis addiction).
