This bill adds a new restriction to South Dakota's medical cannabis law by prohibiting cardholders from giving or transferring their cannabis to other people without authorization, with limited exceptions for caregivers assisting patients and for transfers to testing facilities or dispensaries. The exceptions allow designated caregivers to provide cannabis to their patients and permit sharing cannabis without payment between cardholders, as long as recipients don't end up with more than the legal amount. This change closes loopholes that could allow unauthorized distribution of medical cannabis products.
