Pierre, Hughes County Joining Forces On Medical Marijuana Ordinances

PIERRE — Across South Dakota cities are working to line up some sort of regulation as medicinal marijuana becomes law in a little over a month. Pierre mayor Steve Harding says the city is working with officials in Hughes County for consistency with any regulations that are developed…

That temporary ordinance was approved by the Joint Planning and Zoning Committee Tuesday night. Each governing board will give first reading to the ordinance at their respective meetings on June 7th and 8th before it comes before a joint City/County meeting June 15th….

Harding says city licenses for both growing and selling medicinal marijuana are likely. He sees eventual permanent ordinances coming with some restrictions…

Municipalities are also waiting statewide on a ruling from the South Dakota Supreme Court on Constitutional Amendment A which, if found to be constitutional, would allow recreational marijuana in the state.
