Mount Pleasant, SC Public Conduct: Public Marijuana Use (2026)

01, 'Unlawful Possession of Marijuana,' bans possession outright, and that ban reaches marijuana carried, smoked, or displayed anywhere in town, including streets, parks, the beach, or any other public place. The section defines the banned amount as one ounce or less and defines 'marijuana' broadly across four categories: all species or varieties of the marijuana plant and all its parts whether growing or not, the seeds of the plant, resin extracted from any part of the plant, and every compound, manufacture, sale, derivative, mixture, or preparation of the plant, its seeds, or its resin.

C. Code § 44-53-370(d)(3) for simple possession, a person found with marijuana in a public place within Mount Pleasant can face a municipal charge from the Mount Pleasant Police Department in addition to, or instead of, a state charge. 99. The town code does not distinguish between private and public possession; the prohibition applies uniformly wherever a person is within municipal limits.
