Get in Touch

CannabisSouthCarolina.org is an educational resource, not a cannabis business. We don’t sell products, provide legal advice, or operate dispensaries. We welcome feedback to keep this site accurate.

Report Inaccurate Information

SC cannabis policy is evolving: the Compassionate Care Act repeats every legislative session under Sen. Tom Davis (R-Beaufort); the 2026 election cycle (open governor race — McMaster term-limited) and the November 12, 2026 federal hemp cliff create volatility. If you notice information that is outdated or incorrect, please reach out.

Suggest Improvements

Is there a region, topic, or development we haven’t covered well enough? A new Compassionate Care Act vote? A 2026 gubernatorial primary update? An AG Wilson Operation Ganjapreneur action? We’d love to hear your suggestions.

For Legal Advice

This site does not provide legal advice. For arrest situations, federal-employment matters, expungement petitions, or trafficking exposure, consult a licensed South Carolina criminal-defense attorney. SC Bar Lawyer Referral Service: scbar.org.

Particular attention is warranted for:

  • PWID felony cliff exposure (over 1 oz = prima facie PWID).
  • Trafficking 100-2,000 lbs exposure (25-year mandatory minimum).
  • Cultivation manufacturing felony.
  • Cross-border-transport federal-felony exposure plus SC state-law liability.
  • Tax stamp and license-suspension framework violations.
  • Cannabis DUI under impairment-only standard.

For Federal-Employment Questions

If you work for Fort Jackson, Parris Island MCRD, Naval Base Charleston, Shaw AFB, Joint Base Charleston, federal contractors with security clearances, or federally-funded research at MUSC / Clemson / USC, cannabis use is a meaningful career-risk decision. Consult an employment attorney with federal-clearance experience before any cannabis use.
