The GSP Republican Women invite you to attend a panel discussion featuring Senator Tom Davis (R)\, Representative Ashley Burch Trantham (R)\, Jill Swing\, President/Founder of SC Compassionate Care Alliance\, Dr. Glen Robinson\, 4th Vice Chair Greenville GOP\, and Jeff Moore\, former Executive Director for the SC Sheriff’s Association. This will be a discussion providing education for the use of cannabis for therapeutic purposes in the state of South Carolina with a focus on answering audience questions. This is a FREE event\, with a limit of 100 attendees\, so please sign up. \nBelow is a Bill Summary as of end of 2018 legislative session to give you some background for our discussion: \nThe South Carolina Compassionate Care Act: Bill Summery \nOn January 10\, 2017\, Senator Tom Davis (R-Beaufort) and Representative Peter McCoy (R-Charleston) introduced The South Carolina Compassionate Care Act\, which would allow qualifying patients with debilitating medical conditions and a recommendation from their physician to use and safely access medical cannabis. The Department of Health and Environmental Control would regulate and license cultivation centers\, processing facilities dispensaries and independent testing laboratories. The department will also issue registration cards to qualifying patients and their caregivers. The bill garnered bi-partisan support in both bodies of the state legislature. \nThe bill was passed in both the Senate Medical Affairs Committee and the House Military\, Medical and Public and Municipal Affairs Committee\, but not in time to be heard on the floor in either chamber. \nHere are some key points to the bill: \n\nQualifying debilitating medical conditions:\n(a) one or more of the following: cancer currently requiring treatment; multiple sclerosis; a neurological disease or disorder; glaucoma; post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); Crohn’s disease; sickle cell anemia; ulcerative colitis; cachexia or wasting syndrome; severe or persistent nausea in a person who is not pregnant that is related to end of life or hospice care\, or who is bedridden or home bound because of the condition; a chronic medical condition causing severe and persistent muscle spasms; or any chronic or debilitating disease or medical condition for which an opioid is currently or could be prescribed by a physician based on generally accepted standards of care. ‘Opioid’ means a narcotic drug or substance that is a Schedule II controlled substance defined in Section 44-53-210(b) or (c);\n(b) a terminal illness with a life expectancy of less than one year in the opinion of the person’s treating physician; or\n(c) any other serious medical condition or its treatment added by the Medical Cannabis Advisory Board.\n\n\nDHEC will appoint a Commission to help write regulations\, award licenses\, and administer the program that will be made up of appointees from DHEC\, LLR\, SLED\, the SC Board of Medical Examiners\, the SC Sheriff’s Association\, SCDA\, SC Commission for minority Affairs\, and the Governor’s appointees as industry and patient representatives.\n\n\nRecommending physicians must have a bona-fide relationship with their patient and a minimum of 3 hours of continuing education (CME) specific in cannabinoid medicine within one year of writing recommendations.\n\n\nSmoking is not a legal form of administration of medical cannabis.\n\n\nEdible forms of cannabis infused products will be defined by DHEC so as not to appeal to children and will have no more than 10 mgs of THC per serving. All products must be in opaque packaging and clearly labeled as medical cannabis with third party laboratory testing for each batch.\n\n\nAny patient or caregiver intentionally diverting medical cannabis or in any way operating outside the confines of this legislation will have their registration card revoked and is subject to a fine of more than five thousand dollars or imprisonment of not more than five years\, or both.\n\nPlease go to www.scstatehouse.gov and Bill Search 212 for the full text of last session’s South Carolina Compassionate Care Act or for more information on medical cannabis legislation in South Carolina\, go to www.sccompassion.com. \nYou may also contact Jill Swing\, President of SC Compassionate Care Alliance\, at jill@z59.6db.myftpupload.com. \nShare this:Tweet\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n MoreShare on Tumblr\n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp\n \n Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n Telegram URL:https://sccompassion.com/event/medical-cannabis-panel-discussion-a-case-for-compassion/ LOCATION:Hughes Downtown Library\, 28 Heritage Green Pl Room C\, Greenville\, SC\, 29601\, United States CATEGORIES:Education ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sccompassion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/mmjpanel-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20180928T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20180928T173000 DTSTAMP:20260421T084556 CREATED:20180718T162516Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240903T150723Z UID:2632-1538121600-1538155800@sccompassion.com SUMMARY:Inaugural Medical Cannabis Update: Cannabis and It’s Changing Role in Medicine DESCRIPTION:Share this:Tweet\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n MoreShare on Tumblr\n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp\n \n Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n Telegram URL:https://sccompassion.com/event/inaugural-medical-cannabis-update-cannabis-and-its-changing-role-in-medicine/ LOCATION:MUSC Drug Discovery Auditorium\, 70 President St.\, Charleston\, SC\, 29425 CATEGORIES:Education ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sccompassion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/cannabis.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20180915T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20180915T120000 DTSTAMP:20260421T084556 CREATED:20180809T230918Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180911T161110Z UID:2668-1537005600-1537012800@sccompassion.com SUMMARY:Greenville Walk for Compassion DESCRIPTION:PURCHASE TICKETS \nNO SMOKING\nJoin us on September 15th\, 2018 for a beautiful 1.34 mile walk to raise awareness for the proposed SC Compassionate Care Act. \nPreview the route here: https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/2187340168 \n\n\nFeel Free to Share this Event with Your Friends!

Current policies focus on downstream strategies and criminalizing patients and medical professionals. Research shows a nearly 25% decrease of opioid overdose deaths in states with medical cannabis laws. However\, medical cannabis is not option for all patients due to the federal-state legal conflict\, inadequacies in state laws\, and lack of medical professional and patient education. \nIt is critical that our nation’s lawmakers understand and respond to medical cannabis’ potential role in mediating this crisis through our END PAIN NOT LIVES campaign. \nCAMPAIGN GOALS \nStates: Pass new regulations and legislation to make it easier for people with Pain\, Chronic Pain\, and Opioid Use Disorder and their medical professionals to utilize medical cannabis in their treatment plans \nFederal: Leverage cannabis therapies in combating opioid crisis to pass the CARERS Act and other legislation like CJS amendment \nEducation: Increase education of medical professionals\, service providers\, and patients \nResearch: Conduct clinical trials on cannabis and opioids \nAmericans for Safe Access believes that when patients and concerned citizens are involved at the highest levels of policy making\, everyone benefits. Therefore\, it is imperative to give advocates the tools and information they need to competently and confidently represent. This conference strives to connect medical cannabis patients and advocates and promote excellence in our work. Participants will leave educated\, inspired\, and carrying a tool kit for achieving immediate results. \n\nAdvocacy: learn tips and techniques to immediately improve your advocacy effectiveness.\nPublic Affairs and Communications: discuss traditional and cutting edge methods for reaching your desired audiences.\n•Professional Development: enhance your professional skills and performance.\n\nThe National Medical Cannabis Unity Conference is the largest conference for medical marijuana patients\, activists\, lawyers and medical professionals promoting safe and legal access to marijuana for therapeutic uses and research. The Unity conference is your place to learn best practices\, exchange ideas and learn how to navigate medical marijuana in this new political landscape. This conference will also provide professional development and leadership training to patients and concerned citizens in all areas of advocacy including federal\, state and local government relations\, public affairs\, community relations\, public policy\, legislation\, Congressional relations\, community activism\, political engagement and campaigns. Attendees will hear from successful lobbyists and communicators\, elected officials\, professional staff\, industry experts\, and public policy specialists on a wide variety of how-to topics relevant to legislative and regulatory advocacy. \nWhen patients have a seat at the public policy table\, everyone benefits. In order to get and keep our seat\, we must be equipped to competently and confidently represent our viewpoint. The goal of this conference is to provide patients and concerned citizens the information\, tools\, and contacts they need to be successful representatives for medical cannabis and against the opioid epidemic. We achieve this by hosting substantive policy discussions\, teaching the latest methods and strategies in advocacy. \nMedical cannabis patients\, legal professional\, medical professionals\, advocates\, caregivers\, industry professionals or professionals working in any aspect of advocacy including federal\, state or local government relations\, public relations\, public affairs\, community activism\, coalitions\, public policy\, campaigns\, PAC and grassroots\, politics\, legislation\, and communications.
