This bill removes delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, the active ingredient in marijuana) from South Dakota's felony charges for ingesting controlled substances. Currently, possessing any controlled drug in your body without a prescription is a felony crime, but this change means having THC in your system would no longer result in felony charges under this law.
