A seven-year fight to pass a medical marijuana bill may have ended in South Carolina when a House leader ruled the proposal would mean a tax increase and could not be considered.
The decision “will likely have significant consequences” between the Senate and the House and hopefully ”cooler heads can prevail," Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey said as a stunned Davis walked around talking to his colleagues.
Davis' bill started in the Senate and — after considering the point for nearly three hours — Pope ruled the bill was out of order, killing it. Davis crafted his proposal to be as conservative as possible. The bill specifies the illnesses that could be treated, including cancer, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, sickle cell anemia and autism. It also states that the marijuana could only be obtained through specially chosen pharmacies.Smoking the drug would remain illegal in South Carolina. Instead, patients would have to use oils, salves, patches or vaporizers.
