Cannabis Distribution Businsses for Sale in South Carolina

South Carolina currently maintains a highly restrictive stance on commercial cannabis. Both recreational and medical marijuana remain largely illegal, with strict penalties for the possession, sale, and distribution of cannabis products. The only exception is the limited use of low-THC CBD oil (with less than 0.9% THC) for qualifying patients with severe epilepsy, as permitted by Julian's Law enacted in 2014. Therefore, traditional cannabis distribution licenses, as seen in adult-use or comprehensive medical states, do not exist at this time.

However, South Carolina has a legal and regulated industrial hemp and CBD market. The South Carolina Department of Agriculture (SCDA) issues various permits for hemp-related activities, including "Hemp Handler Permits" for individuals or businesses providing storage or courier services, which are essential for the distribution of legal hemp and CBD products across cities like Columbia, Charleston, and Greenville.

Despite the current restrictions, there are ongoing legislative efforts to establish a comprehensive medical cannabis program. The "South Carolina Compassionate Care Act" has repeatedly passed the Senate but has stalled in the House of Representatives. Should this legislation pass, it would create a regulated framework for medical cannabis, potentially including specific transporter and distribution licenses to facilitate the legal movement of products within the state.

For those interested in the evolving cannabis landscape, CannaMLS is the number one place to find legal hemp and CBD businesses for sale and to monitor future cannabis business opportunities, including potential distribution licenses, in South Carolina.
