This bill removes the right of medical cannabis cardholders to grow cannabis plants at home, eliminating the current allowance for patients to cultivate three or more plants as prescribed by their doctor. After this change, only the three-ounce limit on purchased cannabis would remain available to registered cardholders, with no option for home cultivation. The bill essentially ends patient-directed home growing under South Dakota's medical cannabis program.
