Initiated Measure 26 establishes a medical marijuana program for patients diagnosed with one or more serious health conditions. This is specifically for medical marijuana. The measure requires the Department of Health, no later than 120 days after the effective date of the initiative, to enact rules related to implementing South Dakota’s medical marijuana program.<\/a> Since ballot measures in South Dakota take effect on July 1 following completion of the official canvass by the State Canvassing Board, 120 days after the measure’s expected effective date of July 1, 2020, is October 29, 2021<\/span>. <\/span>The Department of Health was required under the measure to issue registry identification cards to qualified patients no later than 140 days after the effective date of the measure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Constitutional Amendment A legalizes, regulates, and taxes marijuana for adults 21 and over.

    Only you and your medical marijuana physician who certifies you will know that you are a South Dakota medical marijuana patient, as this is protected under HIPAA. Measure 26 provides medical marijuana patients \u201call the same rights under state and local law, as the person would be afforded if the person were solely prescribed a pharmaceutical medication.\u201d Employers would not be required to allow cannabis ingestion in the workplace, nor would they be required to allow employees to work under the influence of cannabis. A \u201cregistered qualifying patient may not be considered to be under the influence of cannabis solely because of the presence of metabolites or components of cannabis that appear in insufficient concentration to cause impairment,\u201d according to the measure.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Within the United States\u2019 federalist system of government, legal precedents have established that states are not obligated to enforce federal laws. Opponents of marijuana policy reforms sometimes claim that state legalization laws could be \u201cpreempted\u201d or overturned by federal law, but scholars have rejected this argument. Eleven states have legalized marijuana for adults\u2019 use, and thirty-three have legalized it for medical purposes. No federal challenge has succeeded in overturning these laws.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
