HB1055 modifies the requirements for doctors to certify patients for South Dakota's medical cannabis program by clarifying that practitioners must complete a medical history assessment and in-person physical exam at the initial visit, and the patient must be under the doctor's ongoing care for their qualifying medical condition. The bill also refines what counts as an "allowable amount" of cannabis patients can possess, including up to three ounces plus cannabis products, and allows patients with cultivation permits to grow up to four plants and possess additional cannabis produced from those plants at their home.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
