What if i just want to donate?

Why don’t we just file a statewide petition and make cannabis fully legal?

South Carolina does not have a statewide initiative and referendum process that does not involve the state General Assembly. It’s in the state constitution. We can, however, go that route at the county and city levels of government; and, to do that would take funds we don’t have yet. But, small contributions add up. Considering giving what you can today.
