South Dakota voters will decide again on whether to legalize recreational marijuana. Secretary of State Monae Johnson’s office on Monday validated the measure for the November general election ballot. It will be the third time South Dakota voters have weighed in on the question.
FILE - Marijuana legalization opponents meet in a Sioux Falls, S.D. on Oct. 7, 2022 to hear a presentation on the dangers of pot use and strategize how to convince their friends and neighbors not to pass legalization a second time. Advocates of legalizing recreational marijuana, a mission with a rocky history in South Dakota , submitted thousands of signatures to election officials on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, in the hopes of once again getting the issue on the conservative state’s November ballot.
“We firmly believe that South Dakotans deserve to make their own choices on how they live their lives, including the freedom to responsibly use cannabis,” said Zebadiah Johnson, political director for the campaign to legalize recreational marijuana, in a statement.
“I expect that the industry will triple down on their money to try and sway and disuade voters,” Protecting South Dakota Kids chairperson Jim Kinyon said.
