Fails to harmonize state and federal ma*****na policy

Guess who is one of only nine states to not have Medical access to Cannabis?

🌿 Gov. Brian Kemp signed the "Putting Georgia's Patients First Act" into law.

The new law replaces the state's "low THC oil" with "medical cannabis," increases THC and possession amounts, allows adults 21+ to vaporize, and expands the list of qualifying conditions.

A North Carolina proposal would put two cannabis-related constitutional amendments to voters this November. One would legalize medical cannabis access, and the other would legalize adult-use cannabis. If passed, lawmakers would be required to create the legal frameworks for the programs, as the proposals do not specify how the programs would be administered.

South Carolina Senate Bill Seeks to Regulate H**p Beverages Like Alcohol

The South Carolina Senate is set to consider legislation to regulate hemp-derived THC beverages in the state. The bill would allow retailers, including grocery and convenience stores, to sell 12-ounce beverages containing no more than 5 milligrams of THC. Liquor stores would be allowed to sell cans of stronger 10-milligram beverages or “fifths” of even more potent products, according to the report. Restaurants and bars would be banned from selling THC-infused beverages.

The governor of South Carolina said in June that there’s a “compelling” case to be made for legalizing medical ma*****na in the state, despite reservations from law enforcement. And a key GOP lawmaker who’s championed the reform over multiple sessions said he’s eyeing 2026 as the year to finally get the job done.

Gov. Henry McMaster (R) said he thinks supporters of the reform have a “very compelling situation,” despite the fact that “law enforcement, almost end-to-end, still have grave concerns.”

Sen. Tom Davis (R), who has sponsored several bills to legalize medical cannabis, has described his legislation as “conservative.”

An earlier version of Davis’s cannabis measure passed the Senate in 2024 but was never taken up in the House. He then filed a revised version in 2025 that also did not advance.

The office of House Speaker Murrell Smith (R) has tempered expectations about reform, saying “previous statement on the medical ma*****na bill holds true,” referencing his comments on insufficient support within the GOP caucus to advance the reform.

Among the public, medical ma*****na legalization enjoys overwhelming bipartisan support in the state, with a poll last year finding that 93 percent of Democrats, 74 percent of Republicans and 84 percent of independents back the reform.

The state Senate passed an earlier version of the legislation in 2022, but it stalled in the opposite body over a procedural hiccup.
