South Dakota's medical cannabis program will automatically shut down if the federal government reclassifies cannabis as a Schedule III drug, which would trigger a 90-day countdown before all state medical cannabis rules disappear. The state Attorney General and Department of Health would notify patients and cannabis businesses of the federal change and when the program ends. This means South Dakota's existing medical cannabis law (chapter 34-20G) would be repealed entirely once that federal reclassification happens.
