Today (Nov. 18, 2021), in accordance with SDCL 34-20G, the first medical cannabis patient cards were printed and issued in South Dakota. The first card issued went to a resident of Day County.
“Today marks the culmination of months of hard work in preparation for the kickoff of a responsive and efficient medical cannabis program for eligible South Dakotans,” said Geno Adams, Medical Cannabis Program Administrator. “In the months ahead, we will continue to ensure that patients and their caregivers, can continue to obtain medical cannabis permits in accordance with their written certifications.”
Patients, caregivers, and medical providers who wish to get more information on how to participate in South Dakota’s medical cannabis program can visit: MedCannabis.sd.gov. The site features a ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ section, as well as a section for establishments, that is continuously updated by the Department.
All patients and caregivers who apply and are issued a medical cannabis card will also receive a flyer with helpful tips on the importance of safe and responsible storage of their medical cannabis at their homes. The flyer is below or to download it, click here.
