How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in South Carolina
It isn’t possible to get medical marijuana in South Carolina yet. The state allows consumption of low-THC oil via an exemption called “Julian’s Law," but only for certain limited seizure disorders. The patient must have a certification from their doctor that they have a severe seizure disorder that hasn’t responded to other pharmaceutical interventions.
The oil must contain 0.9% THC or less and 15% or more CBD. However, the state provides no way to produce this product and federally legal CBD oil only contains 0.3% THC or less, which may not be helpful for most seizure conditions. While the law protects these patients from prosecution for possession and manufacture of the oil, it’s difficult to find cannabis strains that meet the required THC restrictions.

When South Carolina does legalize medical cannabis, the list of qualifying conditions will probably be in the control of the state’s department of health or a cannabis control board. In that case, you’ll be able to petition the government agency responsible for the medical cannabis program to add your condition to the list. It also might be worth seeking the help of your representatives in the state legislature to pass a law to expand the list.
