Online Marijuana / THC Awareness Classes in South Carolina

Taking a Marijuana/THC Awareness class can be helpful if a South Carolina court, probation officer, PTI/treatment court program, school, or employer has asked you to complete cannabis-related education. CourtCure offers the same online marijuana awareness course in 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24-hour options, focused on THC effects, impairment awareness, personal responsibility, and safer decision-making. Because acceptance policies in South Carolina vary by the requesting authority, we strongly recommend confirming the required hours, delivery format (online vs. in-person), deadline, and what kind of completion documentation is needed before you enroll. If you already have written instructions, choose the hour length that matches those instructions; if not, contact the referring authority first. This page highlights South Carolina context so you know what to verify and how our course can fit into your plan.

Key South Carolina points to know before choosing hours or enrolling: - Marijuana remains illegal for recreational use in South Carolina. Limited, tightly controlled cannabidiol (CBD) access exists for certain severe epilepsy cases (“Julian’s Law”), but this is not a broad medical-marijuana program. Simple possession amounts and controlled-substance rules are defined in state law. If you are exploring education options after a possession charge, be aware that your requirements come from your local court or program, not a statewide class mandate. ([scstatehouse.gov](https://www.scstatehouse.gov/code/t44c053.php?utm_source=openai)) - South Carolina’s Pre-Trial Intervention (PTI) and other diversion/treatment courts are administered at the circuit/county level. Eligibility and conditions (such as completing education hours, drug testing, community service, or counseling) are set locally and at the Solicitor’s discretion; there is no single statewide hour requirement. Always follow your referral paperwork or speak with the program coordinator before purchasing a course. ([scstatehouse.gov](https://www.scstatehouse.gov/code/t17c022.php?utm_source=openai)) - Drug-impaired driving is illegal. South Carolina’s DUI statute applies to impairment by alcohol, drugs, or a combination; drug-related impairment can lead to a DUI charge even without alcohol. If your case involves DUI, know that completion of the state’s Alcohol and Drug Safety Action Program (ADSAP) is required for relicensing after a DUI conviction; our awareness class is not a substitute for ADSAP.

Regardless of retail availability, these products may cause impairment and positive drug tests. If you are subject to testing (probation, PTI, employment), verify expectations with your supervising authority.

Confirm with your attorney or the Solicitor’s Office what—if any—course hours are required in your situation. ([scstatehouse.gov](https://www.scstatehouse.gov/code/t44c053.php?utm_source=openai))

There is no single statewide “Marijuana/THC Awareness” class requirement in South Carolina. Acceptance of any course—including online courses—depends on the requesting authority (for example, a specific judge, PTI/treatment court, Solicitor’s Office, probation officer, school, or employer). Before you enroll, confirm the required hours, whether online delivery is allowed, your due date, and what completion document or report is needed. If your case is in a diversion or treatment court, follow that program’s written instructions and ask the coordinator if you are unsure. For DUI-related cases, note that South Carolina requires successful completion of ADSAP for relicensing after a DUI conviction; this CourtCure awareness course is not a replacement for ADSAP.
