COLUMBIA, S.C. People who suffer from long-term illnesses that they say were treated by cannabis drugs are calling on South Carolina lawmakers to pass a medical marijuana bill.
The group gathered at the South Carolina State House Tuesday to push for the Compassionate Care Act. The bill would legalize cannabis products for medical use in South Carolina. It would, however, only allow the drug for specific purposes and would highly regulate how it s distributed. It provides medicine to people who desperately need it, said State Senator Tom Davis (R-Beaufort), a sponsor and author of the bill who joined the group.
