South Dakota medical cannabis cardholders who are approved to grow their own plants will now be limited to a maximum number of plants as prescribed by their physician, rather than having an unlimited growing allowance. The bill sets a minimum of three plants that patients may grow, with doctors able to authorize higher amounts based on individual medical needs. This change gives physicians control over plant limits while protecting the state's ability to regulate home cultivation through the medical cannabis program.
