Legal recreational cannabis in South Dakota will have to wait following the state Supreme Court’s controversial decision to invalidate Amendment A, a recreational cannabis ballot initiative passed by voters in November 2020.
Ultimately, the supreme court agreed with a lower court’s decision that the initiative violated the state’s requirement that initiatives may only address a single subject. The court rejected the defendants’ claims that the initiative covered only cannabis and found that three distinct subjects were addressed – recreational cannabis, medical cannabis, and hemp.
