Mike Hunter, who succeeded Pruitt as Oklahoma Attorney General, said he disagreed with the Supreme Court's decision.

Medical marijuana bill in South Carolina bolstered by conservatives

While 28 states allow comprehensive medical marijuana programs, only two of those are in the South. COLUMBIA, S.C. — Two decades after California became the first state to legalize medical marijuana, efforts to let patients legally access the drug are gaining in South Carolina with the help of conservative lawmakers. A bill allowing people with a debilitating medical condition, or their adult caregivers, to legally possess 2 ounces of marijuana advanced last month to the House's full medical committee. This year's renewed push in South Carolina is bolstered by some of the state's most conservative legislators, whose opinions have shifted because of personal losses or the pleadings of parents and pastors in their districts.
