SB 3 legalizes the use and regulated sale of marijuana in South Dakota by removing it from the state's list of controlled substances. The bill modifies existing drug laws to allow marijuana to be sold through a regulatory system, rather than treating it as an illegal drug. This represents a major shift in South Dakota's drug policy, moving from prohibition to legal regulation of marijuana.
