This bill clarifies the rules for South Dakota's medical cannabis program by defining what counts as an "allowable amount" of cannabis that patients can possess—including up to three ounces, cannabis products established by state rules, and for those approved to grow, three or more plants as their doctor prescribes. It also refines what makes a valid doctor-patient relationship for medical cannabis use, requiring doctors to conduct an in-person physical exam, discuss the patient's condition, and offer ongoing care.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
