COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina senators voted late Wednesday night to advance legislation that would legalize certain forms of marijuana for medical use, sending the bill to the House, where its future is uncertain.
The Senate voted 28-15 after making several changes to the legislation that would allow people with doctor-approved medical conditions, such as cancer, glaucoma and multiple sclerosis, to use marijuana in the forms of oils, salves, vaporizers or patches.
South Carolinians could only get the marijuana through specific pharmacies.
