North Carolina General Statute 90-95 classifies marijuana as a Schedule VI controlled substance and prohibits all cultivation, manufacture, and possession for non-medical purposes statewide, fully preempting any local attempt to authorize home growing.
Under N.C.G.S. 90-95, manufacturing marijuana, including planting, cultivating, and harvesting, is a felony regardless of quantity or intent. Possession of more than 1.5 ounces is also a felony; smaller amounts are misdemeanors. North Carolina has not legalized recreational or comprehensive medical marijuana, and only narrow hemp extract use under N.C.G.S. 90-113.101 is permitted for intractable epilepsy. State law preempts any city or county effort to legalize, decriminalize, or permit home cultivation. Federal law also prohibits cultivation.
Growing any marijuana plant is a felony manufacturing offense. Possession of paraphernalia, processing, or distribution charges typically accompany cultivation arrests.
