About Medical Marijuana in South Dakota

In November 2020, South Dakota officially passed Ballot Measure 26 with 69% of the vote, legalizing medical cannabis.

The initiated measure allows cannabis cardholders or their designated caregivers to possess and purchase up to three ounces of cannabis products from a licensed marijuana dispensary. The state law took effect in July 2021 with the opening of medicinal dispensaries. South Dakota’s medical marijuana program is unique in that both residents and non-residents of the state may apply.

To qualify for a South Dakota medical marijuana card, you must have symptoms of or be diagnosed with one of the following conditions: cancer, chronic pain, epilepsy and seizures, multiple sclerosis, terminal illness, cachexia or wasting syndrome, severe nausea, or severe and persistent muscle spasms, including those characteristic of multiple sclerosis. South Dakota medical marijuana patients may cultivate two flowering and two non-flowering cannabis plants.

At this time, recreational cannabis is not legal in South Dakota. In November 2024, South Dakota voters will have the opportunity to vote on Initiated Measure 29, which would legalize the possession, distribution, and use of recreational marijuana for people ages 21 and older. This initiative was also voted on in 2020 and 2022, though it did not garner enough support from South Dakota residents.

The state registration fee for a South Dakota medical marijuana card is $75.

South Dakota medical marijuana patients can purchase up to 3 oz of cannabis at a time.

Yes. South Dakota residents, including medical marijuana users, can own or carry guns concealed without permits. Although it is a Permitless Carry State, medical cannabis cardholders who often travel to other states with their firearms are still required to obtain gun licenses from their county sheriffs.

Currently, South Dakota does not allow medical marijuana cardholders from other states to purchase medical cannabis.
