Provide some basic medical history and book an appointment with a licensed marijuana doctor. The $199 fee includes your consultation fee, physician copay, and the medical evaluation for your recommendation.
Consult with a marijuana physician who will evaluate your ailments and answer any questions you have about medical marijuana treatment. This can be either online, through video, or in person, depending on where you live.
If you are approved for medical marijuana, you’ll receive your recommendation. Depending on your state, you will either be granted immediate access to dispensaries or wait to receive your card in the mail.
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.
