“The resident, a 66-year-old man named Frank Dennis Peters, turned himself in to the authorities. Peters claims he has been growing the marijuana to assist his wife of 40 years who suffers from fibromyalgia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Peters added, ‘I have a moral obligation to make my wife as comfortable as possible.’ Under current law, medical marijuana is legal, but only if it is purchased from South Carolina’s Department of Health and Environmental Control. However, the Department has never actually distributed any marijuana according to department spokesman. The law is 33 years old.”
