South Carolina has seen major legislative battles regarding hemp-derived THC products. [1] (https://scdailygazette.com/2026/08/17/sc-bills-to-restrict-thc-products-strengthen-dui-laws-wont-be-revived-this-year/), [2] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfKoQXiCVks)

The state legislature voted down a major compromise bill to regulate intoxicating hemp products. [1] (https://thecurrentga.org/2026/06/27/thc-hemp-products-remain-legal-for-all-in-sc-after-efforts-to-limit-sales-fails/), [2] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfKoQXiCVks)

The Hemp Regulatory Battle

• The Failed Bill: In June 2026, the South Carolina House of Representatives voted 69-28 to defeat a heavily debated compromise bill. The bill aimed to place strict regulations on hemp-derived THC products (like Delta-8 or Delta-9 beverages and gummies).

• Proposed Rules: Had it passed, the bill would have established a strict 21+ age limit, restricted most sales to liquor stores, banned restaurant sales, and capped THC concentrations to 10mg per serving. [1] (https://thecurrentga.org/2026/06/27/thc-hemp-products-remain-legal-for-all-in-sc-after-efforts-to-limit-sales-fails/)

• The Outcome: Because a coalition of lawmakers (concerned about harming small hemp businesses) and hardline opponents (who wanted a total ban) killed the bill, hemp-derived THC products remain legal and unregulated in South Carolina.

Where Marijuana Laws Stand Now

• Medical Cannabis: While the state's 1980 alignment law technically adjusted its scheduling mirroring federal action, standalone legislative efforts to create a fully functioning state-level market—such as the Compassionate Care Act (SB 53)—remained deadlocked and failed to pass before the session ended.

• Recreational Marijuana: Marijuana possession remains fully criminalized. Lawmakers rejected decriminalization bills like HB 3804, meaning possession of small amounts can still lead to a misdemeanor conviction and up to 30 days in jail.

Hi folks!

South Carolinians took out more than one million high-interest, short-term personal loans in 2024 alone, totaling $2.3 billion. The industry, which critics say preys on desperate borrowers, is deeply entrenched in the Upstate, in cities including Greenville and Spartanburg.

The New York Times and The Post and Courier are examining the business of short-term lending in the state. If you or someone you know is a borrower who has taken out installment, payday or title loans, or you work for a company that offers them, please fill out the form here. 

A reporter or editor may reach out to learn more, but we won’t publish any part of your answer without hearing back from you. Thank you for your consideration.

Looking for some groups

Please reach out if you might’ve seen my dad. It’s been over a year and I’m missing him a little extra today.

The Flora & Fauna Marketplace

4th Annual Itty Bitty Ren-Faire is coming up!!

Does anyone know the history of the Guest House and odd structures south of Norway on US321?

Is this because of el nino or is this normal i dont remember it being this hot last year correct me if im wrong i have severe climate change anxiety

Out walking my dog this , and I decided to look up and watch Satellites fly by, glad I did, cause I got to record this.

In Sunday’s poll from Rasmussen Reports, Graham led Andrews 49%-45%. The poll sampled 837 likely voters Oct. 5-8 and carries a +/- 3% margin of error. The same pollster in September had Graham ahead 48%-43%.

South Carolina has a choice to make— a lady who does what her handlers tell her to do or a woman who is an educated doctor with bright ideas of her own for the state.

Stop accepting more of the same. This stands to be the most embarrassing election cycle in recent history if we flub this very easy choice. DarLindsey Graham is merely a puppet for trump and the GOP who pull her strings. She has no independent ideas and this state will essentially be run by the federal government.

Let’s be smart again, South Carolina.

As I was leaving for work I turned on Hulu so my dogs can watch Law and Order SVU. It’s their favorite show. In the “For You” section I get hit with this little gem. Thinking the Documentary tag was a mistake, I googled it. A real event in SC history. An internet hysteria event about clowns luring kids into the woods from 2016. Simply wow!

Let’s break up the political chat
