SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) Some South Dakota lawmakers plan to visit marijuana businesses in other states and on tribal lands to get a firsthand look at how the drug is grown and sold before it becomes legal for medical use in the state.
In June, members of the South Dakota Legislature’s interim study committee will visit professional cultivation and retail operations in Iowa, Colorado and the Flandreau Santee Sioux Reservation in Moody County.
Some members will study medical marijuana while another group plans to focus on recreational marijuana.

PIERRE, SD – Some South Dakota growers are preparing to plant industrial hemp this spring. South Dakota Industrial Hemp Association Executive Director Katie Sieverding says it depends what variety growers choose to use as to when they’ll start spring seeding.
“Some varieties have a growing period that is not that long,” she explains. “Growers can use those varieties should another crop get hailed out during the summer. They can plant over the damaged crop.”
She says by working with state lawmakers they were able to iron out the rules by which industrial hemp can be grown and all those regulations are now in place.
