South Carolina

South Carolina passing Marijuana Legislation, it’s hard to believe and hard to say if ANY legislation will pass, but here are 10 important facts you should know:

(1) 2 new measures are in place that would DECRIMINALIZE cannabis and would also create a medical cannabis program in SC, The first is thePut Patients First Act – patients w/ serious health issues can GROW & POSSESS cannabis. These patients will also have access to safe and reliable ways of obtaining their “medicine”.

(2) The second is the Decriminalization Bill – people caught w/ 1 ounce or less would only pay a FINE, like a speeding ticket, and not be JAILED.

(3) A restictive bill was passed last June, allowing on CBD based cannabis for people w/ severe epilepsy.

(4) ABC News 4 Poll says majority of SC voters are in favor of allowing seriously ill patients access to medical marijuana

(5) South Carolina is one of the first in the southeast aiming for a medical marijuana program

So do you believe Nicki Haley will actually back this type of legislation? #sideeye

Now this is a great story to take us into the New Year! Chester County South Carolina Sheriff, Alex Underwood, has a program where he offers to take kids hunting/fishing each year, right here in South Carolina. After hearing about this offer, 9 year old Alex Collins wrote a letter asking if he could go hunting. Unfortunately, Alex Collins lives in Chester County, PENNSYLVANIA! The 9 year old explained that he does not have anyone to teach him and that his mother is very ill. After Alex and his mom contacted the wrong Sheriff in Pennsylvania, Carolyn Welsh, she had no idea what they were talking about. But with her research and determination to help, she reached out to the South Carolina Sheriff and they agreed to get 9 year old Alex down to South Carolina so that he could go hunting!

The two Sheriffs and their deputies all chipped in for Alex’s transportation and to purchase his hunting and fishing gear. Sheriff Underwood took Alex to his favorite but very secret hunting location, somewhere along 500 acres of Chester and Fairfield county.
