 Close to two years after voters approved medical marijuana legislation in South Dakota, that market is finally expected to later this week.
The state lists approval of 29 cultivators, 11 processors, 2 testing laboratories, and a total of 69 certified dispensaries. One of those dispensary owners told Sioux Falls TV station KELO that their location called “Unity Road” dispensary in Hartford would be open on July 27. It’s unclear when other dispensaries will open. As of July 18, there were just 1,614 medical marijuana patient cards which had been approved in the state. That’s 23 patients for each dispensary! Hopefully the state will approve more medical cards soon. Compare that to California, where a population of nearly 40 million people only have access to just under 900 retail stores. Which is something like 44,000 people for each retail store. Comments are closed.
