SB 177 updates South Dakota's medical cannabis law to clarify what patients can legally possess and use. The bill defines "allowable amounts" of cannabis to include up to three ounces of the plant itself, plus cannabis products made from home-grown plants, and establishes that doctors must conduct in-person examinations and follow-up care to approve patients for medical cannabis use. These changes provide clearer rules for both patients and healthcare providers participating in the state's medical cannabis program.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
