Cannabis Rules & Regulations: South Dakota

South Dakota Cannabis History

In November 2020, South Dakota voters approved two separate measures to end a century of marijuana prohibition in the state. Constitutional Amendment A, the Marijuana Legalization Initiative, was approved by voters but later overturned by a judge for being unconstitutional.

Initiated Measure 26 goes into effect in July, 2021 and will grant state residents access to medical marijuana. It would also create a system to license and regulate marijuana businesses and also requires the legislature to pass laws by 2022 regulating the cultivation, processing, and sale of hemp.
