His use of the plant to treat his Post Traumatic Stress has been documented and verified in Oregon as qualifying for medical cannabis under their guidelines. “In Oregon I’m a legal patient with a right to a healing herb, but here in North Carolina I’m treated like a criminal.” HB 1161 was introduced by Rep.
Kelly Alexander (D-Mecklenburg) to allow voters to decide on legislation that has yet to get to committees and be heard on the floor of the NC legislature.

Supporting your right to choose your own medicine and walking 260+ miles to make the statement on behalf of North Carolina House Bill 1161.
