A Democrat running to unseat South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster is pushing for legalization of marijuana in the state. Former U.S. Rep. Joe Cunningham says legalizing pot would offer health care options and spin off millions in tax revenue. He would also expunge criminal records for low-level marijuana-related crimes. Cunningham says there's support for legalization in South Carolina and that his plan would shore up the state's finances by taking advantage of what he sees as an inevitable wave of change across the country. Cunningham, who is running to unseat Republican Governor Henry McMaster, says he has a plan to legalize both medicinal and recreational marijuana in order to spin off millions in tax revenue. Cunningham said last week, “This is going to be a game changer in South Carolina. There are so many reasons why we need to do this, and the time is now.”
