PIERRE, S.D. (KELO.com) — The question of medical marijuana became clearer in the South Dakota legislature.
Consultations to obtain certification for medical marijuana would have to take place in medical facilities under a bill passed by the South Dakota House on Thursday.
HB 1172 aims to stop so-called “pop-up clinics” held in hotel rooms and other locations.
The bill’s sponsor, Republican Rep. Fred Deutsch of Florence, who has sponsored several bills restricting medical cannabis this session, said the bill was necessary to protect patients.
