Every state has different marijuana laws- they are regulated by state, not federal law. Some states allow marijuana for recreational and medical use, some states only allow medical use, and some only allow certain low THC products for medical use. Most states limit the number of licenses they will grant and the window to apply for them. Getting licenced is never simple- there are very specific requirements and guidelines that differ by state and its usually highly competitive, which is why most successful applicants work with consultants like Dispensary Permits to help guide them. We highly advise you read the guidelines below thoroughly and then consider working with a consultant or using our templates and guides.

The History of South Carolina Marijuana Business Licenses Marijuana

In 2014, South Carolina legalized the possession and use of low THC, high CBD cannabis extracts for a small percentage of qualifying patients. However, according to the current law, neither home cultivation or a state-licensed dispensary system are allowed.

The South Carolina House later passed a bill allowing people suffering from severe epilepsy to legally be prescribed cannabis oil to control their seizures. The bill passed by a large margin, 90-24, and will allow patients certified by a doctor as suffering from severe epilepsy, or their parents, to legally possess non-psychoactive cannabidiol.

On January 17, 2018, Sen. Tom Davis proposed a bill that would legalize the use of medical marijuana for qualifying patients in South Carolina. It would also legalize the growth, distribution, and use of various forms of medical marijuana. The bill has not moved since, but may be re-visited in the next legislative session. You can read the bill here.

In South Carolina, CBD derived from hemp is legal to sell/retail with a local business license due to the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill. It is also legal to cultivate hemp in the state if you become licensed to do so through the South Carolina Department of Agriculture.
