Emmett Reistroffer talks about a ballot issue that would make medical marijuana legal in South Dakota as he mans a booth Wednesday at Dakotafest in Mitchell.

There is a great story in the Mitchell Daily Republic about Medicinal Marijuana and Measure 13’s organizer, Emmett Reistroffer

“I think the compassion aspect of this is what’s driving our campaign, and that’s what South Dakotans relate to,” Reistroffer said. “South Dakotans are generally compassionate for the sick and dying. They just need to understand the logistics of the issue, so that’s what we’re working hard to do.”

Emmett will get this done. Guaranteed. Nice banner BTW 🙂

    Believe it or not…I am a 49 yo that has never smoked pot…never had the desire. HOWEVER, if I was so ill and sick that smoking medical marijuana would help me feel better…roll, light it up and let me smoke!

    Weed should be legal for medicinal, recreational, and industrial uses. There is no excuse for it being a schedule 1 narcotic, or even a controlled substance.
