SB1 modifies South Dakota's medical cannabis program by updating the legal definitions and requirements for patients seeking medical marijuana cards, including clarifying the "bona fide practitioner-patient relationship" that doctors must establish with patients before recommending cannabis. The bill specifies the allowable amounts patients can possess—up to three ounces of cannabis flower plus specified cannabis products—and allows some cardholders to grow up to four cannabis plants at home. These changes update the state's medical cannabis regulations to provide clearer rules for both patients and healthcare providers.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
