§ 90-94. Schedule VI controlled substances.
(a) This schedule includes the controlled substances listed or to be listed by whatever official name, common or usual name, chemical name, or trade name designated. In determining that such substance comes within this schedule, the Commission shall find: no currently accepted medical use in the United States, or a relatively low potential for abuse in terms of risk to public health and potential to produce psychic or physiological dependence liability based upon present medical knowledge, or a need for further and continuing study to develop scientific evidence of its pharmacological effects.
(b) The following controlled substances are included in this schedule:
(1) Marijuana.
Full Breakdown
Because marijuana remains a Schedule VI controlled substance under NC law with no dispensary licensing program, Huntersville zoning does not contemplate cannabis retail use. Licensed hemp and CBD retailers selling products with under 0.3 percent THC are permitted as general retail under the Unified Development Ordinance. Any change would require state legalization first.
