COLUMBIA — State lawmakers began their first highly anticipated review of a bill legalizing medical marijuana in South Carolina on Wednesday, seeking to tighten regulations and temper concerns it will lead to people using the drug recreationally.
Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort, led a Senate subcommittee as it sought to quell opposition from religious groups, law enforcement and South Carolina’s largest medical association.
The panel didn’t take a vote on the measure, but it offered an introduction into how the bill might be altered moving forward.
