South Dakota’s Surge in Home Marijuana Growing | Pierre News

South Dakota’s medical marijuana home growing boom is exploding—up over 1,000% in four years—with 715 licensed growers now versus just 61 in 2022. State law limits growers to two flowering and two non-flowering plants, with a $20 fee and strict photo/diagram requirements that often turn out to be rough sketches. Officials are alarmed by the lack of oversight and are exploring tighter rules, even as federal cannabis policy shifts. With over 19,000 cardholders—mostly 30s and 40s using cannabis for severe pain—lawmakers are set to revisit the issue, balancing safety, legality, and patient access.
