South Dakota Rejects Measure 29: Cannabis Legalization Fails Again
South Dakota voters rejected Measure 29 on Tuesday, which sought to legalize cannabis for adults. The initiative aimed to allow individuals aged 21 and older to possess limited amounts of cannabis and cultivate plants at home, but it did not receive the necessary support from voters.
The Associated Press reported that with 50% of the votes counted at 2:00 am on Wednesday, the No vote had garnered nearly 60% of the vote.
Measure 29 proposed that adults could possess up to 2 ounces of cannabis flower, 16 grams of cannabis concentrates, and 1,600 milligrams of THC in other products. It also included provisions for growing up to six cannabis plants at home, with a total limit of 12 plants per residence.
