S.D.: Bill to eliminate affirmative defense for unregistered patients was killed

Exciting news! We are thrilled to announce that the bill to eliminate the affirmative defense for unregistered patients (HB 1124) has been killed.

All three bills that were introduced this session to eliminate or chip away at the voter-initiated medical program have been defeated. While we were disheartened by the attempts made this session by lawmakers to obliterate or obstruct the medical program, we were relieved by the outcome.

Thank you to everyone who raised your voice to fight to preserve South Dakotans' medical cannabis rights!
