South Carolina Senate approves "Compassionate Care Act".

The South Carolina Senate has approved the "Compassionate Care Act," a bill that establishes a limited medical marijuana program. The Act allows for marijuana use only in oils, salves, patches, and vaporizers, while smoking marijuana remains illegal. The bill was approved with a 26-17 vote and will now head to the House, where it previously failed due to a technicality two years ago. If passed and signed by Governor McMaster, the act would make South Carolina the 39th state to legalize medical cannabis.
