After voters rejected legalizing recreational marijuana in South Dakota during the early November election, it has some city council members curious on whether it will alter plans for Mitchell's medical dispensaries.
Genesis Farms – a South Dakota cannabis company – has its sights on bringing downtown Mitchell its first marijuana dispensary at a new location inside the Overtime Steakhouse building.
“Everybody is all worried to say cannabis, like, 'Oh my God, they are all criminals.' These are people trying to get into a business opportunity that the state made available to them,” said council member Steve Rice.
