Join Our Waitlist For South Carolina Medical Marijuana Card

South Carolina does not have a medical marijuana program. The state only allows low-THC CBD oil for patients with severe epilepsy under “Julian’s Law” enacted in 2014. Medical and recreational marijuana remain illegal.

• Only patients with severe epilepsy or chronic seizures may use CBD oil with physician recommendation.
• CBD products must contain at least 15% CBD and no more than 0.9% THC.
• No comprehensive qualifying conditions list exists—only the limited epilepsy exception applies.
• Home cultivation of cannabis is prohibited.
• South Carolina does not issue medical marijuana cards as no program exists.
• Recreational cannabis is illegal in South Carolina.
• Possession of any amount of marijuana is a criminal offense.
• First-time possession of one ounce or less is a misdemeanor carrying up to 30 days in jail and a fine of $100-200.

• 2022 – Senate Passes Compassionate Care Act, House Blocks: Senate passes SB 150 (Compassionate Care Act) in February; bill dies in House in May after procedural challenge claiming it should have originated in the House.
• 2024 – Senate Passes Again, House Blocks Again: Senate passes SB 423 (Compassionate Care Act) in January and sends to House in February; House refers bill to committee but takes no action—second consecutive year Senate passes medical cannabis but House fails to advance it.
• 2025 – New Bill Introduced, No Hearing Held: Senator Tom Davis (R) reintroduces Compassionate Care Act as S. 53 in January; South Carolina General Assembly adjourns May 8 without holding any hearing on cannabis legislation.
