Medical Marijuana Legislation
A growing number of states have adopted medical marijuana legislation in light of the many benefits that cannabis has shown to have in treating a number of medical conditions. Traditional medication has failed to produce the results that patients have expected in treating conditions such as severe epilepsy. South Carolina has joined with other medical marijuana states in allowing its citizens to have safe access to medical marijuana for treating the depilating condition. Six-year-old Mary Louise of South Carolina, who suffers from intractable epilepsy, has experience incredible results using CBD cannabis oil treatment since the establishment of the state’s medical marijuana legislation.

Tom Davis, R-Beaufort, authored the bill that legalized cannabis oil. An inspiring plea from Mary Louise’s grandmother, Harriet Hilton, persuaded Senator Davis to advocate for the bill.

This law has helped to provide ease of access to CBD oil to South Carolinians who were perhaps faced with the difficult notion of moving to another marijuana state in order to get CBD oil.
