All but 13 states have laws that allow marijuana to be prescribed by doctors for medical use. North Carolina is considering such a law. This week in their initial vote senators passed the legislation by a vote of 36 to 10. Once it passes a second vote, it heads to the State House for their approval. Those opposed to it don’t believe it really works and are concerned this will open the door to overall legalization of marijuana. WRAL political reporter Will Doran joins us to explain the current proposal and its potential path to becoming law.
