Order your A+26 t-shirt today — $15 from each sale is donated to South Dakotans for Better Marijuana Laws, the 2020 campaign working to pass Amendment A and Measure 26 at the ballot box this year.

This is still a competitive race. Let’s make sure our friends in South Dakota have the resources they need!


South Dakota could become the first state to simultaneously approve medical marijuana and marijuana legalization for adults 21 and over.

And, South Dakota would be one of the most conservative states yet to legalize marijuana, which would create even more pressure on Congress to pass federal marijuana reform next year.

So grab a t-shirt and support a great cause. The South Dakota 2020 legalization campaign needs your support. And, if you don’t want a t-shirt, you can donate directly to the South Dakota campaign.

Get a T-shirt and support the historic 2020 campaign to reform South Dakota's broken marijuana laws!

This November, South Dakota will be the first state to vote on medical marijuana and adult-use legalization initiatives simultaneously. Amendment A and Measure 26 would work together to establish a medical marijuana program for patients and legalize, regulate, and tax marijuana for adults 21 and over.

Winning in South Dakota will create even more pressure on Congress to pass major federal reform in 2021. So this campaign is important.

Created in partnership with our friends at Kannabis Kings Apparel, the South Dakota T-shirts are available in three different colors and two different logo designs, with short-sleeve and long-sleeve options. Fifteen dollars ($15) from each T-shirt purchase will be donated directly to the South Dakota campaign. (Note: Your contribution will go to South Dakotans for Better Marijuana Laws and will be included in campaign finance reports just like all donations to ballot initiative campaigns.)

Show your support, grab a piece of marijuana campaign history, and help the campaign win this November by getting your T-shirt today!

With the start of early voting just around the corner, the campaign to advance marijuana legalization is moving full steam ahead, and they need your help!

First, though, an exciting update! Dakota Rural Action recently announced that they have endorsed both Amendment A and Measure 26. One of their board members, former South Dakota state legislator and Holabird farmer Nick Nemec, gave a stirring endorsement that WNAX radio broadcast across the state!

Their endorsement is great news, but the campaign needs more help sharing effective messages about the benefits of legalization — and that’s where you come in!

The campaign is asking supporters to create 30-60 second "selfie videos" on their cell phones about why they support legalizing marijuana for patients and adults. There are two ways to submit your video:

• If the video file size is 25 MB or less, please email the video as an attachment to info@southdakotamarijuana.org.
• If that doesn't work, send a message to the same email address, and someone from the campaign will be in touch to help you find another way to share the video with them.

If it's a good fit for what the campaign is trying to achieve, they’ll add the video to their website and Facebook pages and maybe make you a star! And, as a reward for your trouble, they’ll even ship you a snazzy t-shirt with the campaign logo on it (even if they don’t use your video)!

Don’t be intimidated to try this — they’re not looking for perfection! They’re looking for authenticity. Just provide your honest opinion about why you believe marijuana should be legalized for adults and patients.

These videos are REALLY effective and give convincing proof that legalizing marijuana reflects the will and hopes of everyday South Dakotans! The campaign looks forward to hearing why YOU plan to vote for Amendment A and Measure 26.

Thank you!

After two rounds of voting by thousands of our supporters across the U.S.A. — beginning with a public vote on Facebook before moving on to a members-only vote —we are excited to announce the winner of the Marijuana Policy Project’s 2018 T-shirt Design Contest.

Congratulations to Michelle Geiger of Apollo Beach, Florida! Her polished and imaginative design features our organization’s full name, our motto We Change Laws, our website URL (mpp.org), and our inaugural year all cleverly shaped to represent MPP’s nationwide impact. 

We look forward to using this new shirt to help amplify our advocacy and educational efforts on the state and federal levels, starting with its unveiling at the National Cannabis Festival on April 21, 2018 in Washington, D.C. It will also be available in multiple color and size variations on our online shop this summer.

Thanks to everyone who participated in MPP’s 2018 Design Contest and for your ongoing commitment to MPP’s mission. Between the integral role MPP played in passing adult-use marijuana legalization in Vermont and our successful efforts to secure state medical marijuana protections in Congress, we have already made significant progress this year. With upcoming ballot initiatives in Utah (medical marijuana), Michigan (adult-use), and other states this year, your continued support is crucial.
