Growing marijuana at home is a crime everywhere in South Carolina, including York County. The state has no medical or recreational program. Cultivating plants is manufacturing and possessing marijuana under S.C. Code Section 44-53-370, a criminal offense.
South Carolina has no legal medical or recreational cannabis and no home-grow allowance. S.C. Code Section 44-53-370 makes it unlawful to manufacture or possess marijuana, and because "manufacture" is defined to include the production and propagation of a controlled substance, cultivating plants is charged as manufacturing. Possessing one ounce or less is a misdemeanor, while a cultivated crop supports a manufacturing or possession-with-intent charge carrying far heavier penalties. No permit, card, or local ordinance in York County authorizes growing cannabis, and the sheriff's office enforces the drug laws.
Possessing one ounce or less of marijuana is a misdemeanor, on first conviction up to thirty days in jail or a fine of one hundred to two hundred dollars; manufacturing marijuana is a felony carrying years in prison.
