I've been meaning to write a small post about this since I heard about it the other day but you know what they say, better late than never, right? On April the 18th, 2018 the South Carolina Compassionate Care Act (House Bill 3521), was passed by the committee in a 14 to 3 vote. The bill would allow those with certain medical conditions who receive a doctor's recommendation to use medical cannabis and cannabis products.
From my understanding, the people of South Carolina have been fighting for this for several years and have finally reached a major milestone in the uphill battle. It is also my understanding that the powers that be do not condone the recreational use of cannabis. That's okay folks, one step at a time, we'll get there eventually ;)
For my peers in North Carolina (or anywhere else) that are still being chained down by old ignorant laws that were made by false information and have yet to be repealed, please keep fighting the good fight! And if you haven't started your fight yet, be sure to write/email your elected officials and let them know how you believe the use of cannabis can improve the quality of your or a loved ones life! Laws won't ever change unless the people that do the voting start putting pressure on our elected officials. It's a time consuming process, but as other states have already proven, it can be done! @bluelightbandit

I was really excited when I read about this! I knew it would take time to reach the east coast and to be honest, I started to doubt that I would ever see it legalized in my state during my life time, but seeing the state right below me make this amount of progress, gives me new hope that my state will start to see the light.

Well, lets see how quickly the North will follow the South...I want to come and visit you so that I can teach you and @bigblueleadsled (among about 100 other things) to be cannabis educators for all the people, but first we must start with the first responders...chopping at the bit, I am.

Yes it is! There will be so many patients that will benefit from this. How this hasn't become legal everywhere by now blows my mind.
Thank you for the compliment, he's my special boy!

Now that the government sees that it can make so much money from the legal cannabis industry via taxes, I think legalization will spread.
And he really looks like an awesome pup :-))

It is good to see that people are coming to their senses. On July 1st, it will be legal in Canada. It had been a long up hill battle there too.

Most states wait to see statistics before they even want to entertain the thought of legalizing cannabis. I don't know how much more proof they need.

OMG, that's great for South Carolina. I hope that my state of North Carolina can rise up and get with the pot movement. I want a damn joint so freaking bad!
I mean, I work at a job that do random drug tests so I haven't smoked up since 1995👀🤪😒😢
