CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCIV) — Big changes could be coming to a South Carolina industry that’s still in its infancy.
Hemp farmers are excited about what the possibility of making marijuana legal could mean for both businesses and consumers.
The hemp industry got its start in South Carolina back in 2017. Only a few years off the ground, it now could have the potential to expand after former congressman Joe Cunningham announced his plans to legalize to use of marijuana if elected governor in 2022.
Cody Callarman, owner and founder of Zitro Farms, is a veteran who has seen the affects hemp can have on physical and mental trauma.
