Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to House Bill 626 in North Carolina largely involve clarifications and details about cannabis use and regulation. The bill now clearly states that individuals aged 21 and older can use cannabis products, and it sets a specific limit on their potency. Additionally, it emphasizes the need for local ordinances governing cannabis establishments. These changes are significant because they help define legal cannabis use and ensure local governments have a say in how cannabis is managed in their communities.
