ND lawmakers pass THC change

By Doug Barrett Mar 9, 2023 | 8:59 AM

The North Dakota House has passed a measure to allow patients on medical marijuana to receive 6000 milligrams of THC within a 30 day period.  “Now I am sure you are wondering is 6,000 milligrams of THC going to make you higher than a kite?  It’s only an incremental increase as we currently allow 4.000.”

Bismarck Republican Representative Brandon Pritchard told the House some patients can get by with micro-dosing, but most can’t. He said there are “well-respected” cancer and pain protocols, that recommend doses of up to a gram per day – with a limit of 6 in a 30-day period.  “This bill would help qualified medical users to get the medication they need.

The House vote on SB 2068 was 77 to 16. Because medical marijuana was an initiated measure, both chambers needed two-thirds votes to make that change. The Senate passed it 33 to 14. It now goes to Governor Burgum.
