Two local sisters developped Charleston’s first Hemp derived THC brand.
Natives of the Main Line of Philadelphia, Cara Applegate and Megan Lawson
both moved to Charleston 20 years ago to attend CofC. Like many do,
they fell in love with the city and chose to raise their families here.
Apothecary is Charleston’s only locally-owned hemp brand and boasts a vast
product line including edibles, pens, pre-rolls, seltzers, and skin care.
Under the 2018 Farm Bill, all are legal in South Carolina.
The sisters report Apothecary’s clientele—both in-store and on-line, range in
age from 21 to 81. The shop is bustling on any given day with neighbors, friends,
family and the occasional dog or two.
