The stalemate centered on how to safely regulate THC-heavy items under shifting federal rules — with the Senate proposing age-restricted sales and the House rejecting it, fearing economic fallout for the booming hemp industry. Child safety advocates clashed with business owners, while the White House warned of potential federal crackdowns, prompting lawmakers to delay action. With no state budget finalized either, South Carolina’s legislative session ended in uncertainty — and consumers are still buying what they want, unregulated and unchallenged.
