How To Get Medical Marijuana Cards In South Carolina
SC MMJ Program Overview
South Carolina – A marijuana card, or MedCard is a state issued ID card that allows qualified patients access to medical cannabis in accord with state laws. Currently, there is not a path to legalized fully loaded medical marijuana, similar to Florida’s MMJ program, with THC in South Carolina. The state does have a limited High CBD program in place.
Qualified patients with certain medical disorders are exempt from criminal penalties for using and possessing cannabidiol(CBD) or any form of marijuana that contains 0.9% or less THC and more than 15% CBD. The law protects this limited class of patients and their parents/guardians or caretakers for the possession, use, and sale of marijuana that meets the cannabinoid content restrictions.
