\”South Carolina is one of the few remaining states where cannabis remains fully illegal, with no medical or recreational programs in place. However, the state has taken small steps toward cannabis reform in recent years. In 2014, South Carolina passed Senate Bill 1035, also known as \”Julian’s Law,\” which allows patients with severe forms of epilepsy to access CBD oil with less than 0.9% THC. Despite this limited medical cannabis program, the state has not yet established a comprehensive system for patient access.
Possession of even small amounts of cannabis is still a criminal offense, and South Carolina has some of the strictest penalties for cannabis possession in the country. Efforts to legalize medical cannabis have gained traction in recent years, with several bills introduced in the state legislature, but none have been successful in passing both chambers. Advocates for cannabis reform continue to push for broader legalization, and public opinion is slowly shifting in favor of medical cannabis. As neighboring states like North Carolina move toward decriminalization and medical legalization, pressure is mounting on South Carolina lawmakers to reconsider their stance on cannabis reform.\”
