Medical Marijuana Shop Closes Down In South Dakota, What Went Wrong?
The first medical marijuana shop in South Dakota is closing its doors. Unity Rd. – the cannabis retail franchise from Item 9 Labs Corp. – shared the news in a social media post.
“With a heavy heart, we share the news that Unity Rd. and The Hartford Connection will be closing its doors on December 7th,” the Nov.7 statement said. “The journey has been challenging, as the cannabis industry in South Dakota has faced significant obstacles due to the state’s inability to establish an effective medical cannabis program that truly serves its residents.”
The store’s closing follows South Dakota’s rejection of legal cannabis this past Tuesday.
