possession, manufacturing, and distribution of consumable hemp products that

CBD, CBG, CBC, provided the products do not contain more than 0.4mg of total 
THC per container and do not contain cannabinoids, regardless of concentration 
that are synthesized or manufactured outside the cannabis plant. Smokeable 
flower or prerolls are not considered a consumable hemp product and are 
prohibited from being sold in this State.

harvesting a plant or crop.

 (5)(6) "Department" means the South Carolina Department of
