About Medical Marijuana in South Carolina
While South Carolina does not have a proper medical marijuana program, the state does allow low-THC cannabis oil. This oil may not exceed a concentration of 0.3% THC.
South Carolina has no list of qualifying conditions that make residents eligible for medical cannabis, which is only permitted in the form of low-level THC oil; rather, the state only permits severe epileptic disorders including Lennox-Gastaut or Dravet syndrome as a considerable disorder. The state does allow state-certified doctors to approve any other condition that may in fact not respond to any other type of conventional therapy.
While a lot of states have cannabis on their ballot for November 2024, a bill to legalize medical marijuana in South Carolina likely will not move forward after a House panel adjourned without making a decision. February marked the second time in three years that the Senate approved a medical marijuana bill before failing in the House.
The current bill would allow for cannabis use for specific medical conditions. While supporters argue that cannabis offers a safer alternative to opioids for certain conditions, while opponents fear it could pave the way for recreational use.
