South Carolina has no adult-use or comprehensive medical program, and S.C. Code § 44-53-110 defines marijuana to include viable seeds (only seeds incapable of germination are excluded), so selling, buying, or gifting marijuana seeds is prosecutable as possession or distribution under § 44-53-370. The Hemp Farming Act (§ 46-55-10 et seq.) carves hemp — including seed at or below 0.3% THC — out of the marijuana definition, but cultivating hemp requires an SCDA Hemp Farmer permit (2026 applications closed Feb. 28, 2026). DEA's 2022 position that sub-0.3% seed is federally hemp has not been adopted by any South Carolina authority, and seeds marketed for marijuana cultivation remain contraband in practice.
