Medical Marijuana A Possibility In SC

Columbia, SC (WOLO)- The state still has a lot to do before implementing a law allowing residents to use oil derived from marijuana for medicinal purposes. Today, a legislative panel discussed the possibility. They’re considering how the state could implement a law that would allow those suffering from severe epilepsy to use oil… if approved by a doctor. The oil… which is non-psychoactive… would help control seizures. The State Department Of Law Enforcement says it is still illegal to grow marijuana or hemp for any reason in South Carolina… including to extract the oil. Members hope to hold at least three more meetings on the topic.
