In Recreational marijuana in South Dakota might create challenges for Minnesota law enforcement, Mark Wasson reports for the West City Tribune:
Big Stone County Sheriff Mark Brown said while he is not fully aware of what the South Dakota law says, any sort of law loosening the restrictions on marijuana would create more supply of the product and he’s also concerned about impaired drivers.
“However, they passed something within the state that the voters approved and that’s their law,” Brown said. “We just kind of got to deal with it here because we’re right across the border.”
Bluestem Prairie is happy to help Sheriff Brown out.
Britannica's ProCon.org page on the amendment, South Dakota Constitutional Amendment A Nov. 2020, includes the South Dakota Attorney General's memo on the document, including the full text.
We hope this is helpful.
