Gov. Noem Signs Medical Cannabis and Hemp Bills into Law

PIERRE, S.D. – Today, Governor Kristi Noem signed six medical cannabis and hemp bills into law. Implementing these bills will be part of Governor Noem’s focus on implementing a safe and responsible medical cannabis program that is the most patient-focused in the country.

  • SB 26 revises the definition of practitioner for purposes of the medical cannabis program.
  • SB 118 establishes provisions related to the testing of medical cannabis.
  • SB 201 revises provisions regarding industrial hemp.

  1. Dear Governor Noem;

    I will be helping a family member through this process in the coming months.

    I plan to assist this person in growing organic heritage Cannabis using natural sunlight.

    I’m particularly interested in the nuance of the “caregiver” status, and in seeing how that maps to my common sense interpretation of how I should be able to best (economically, legally, efficaciously, yielding highest product quality, obtaining best genetics) assist legally.

    One of the obvious hurdles is that we haven’t solved the acquisition of seed genetics problem. Any seeds here were brought illegally. So, how does one not break the law by obtaining seeds?

    Will you and your team be following-up with Congress and/or Resident (of the White House) Biden to deshedule?

    I was shocked Trump didn’t deschedule. This was such an obvious path to victory.

    I will reach out to your office if/when I encounter show-stoppers that create too much inordinate risk, such that our ability to harvest and administer our cannabis is moronically impeded.

    Signing the bill, despite the obvious conservative procedural check valves, shows some courage.

    Now, about South Dakota’s information system technology economy ..

    Best wishes and best of luck in the up-coming election,

    John

    2. Are any of these bills to legalize it? No? Then we’ll continue to ‘complain’.
