South Dakota Measure to Legalize Hemp (2002)

From Ballotpedia

South Dakota Initiated Measure 1 allows certain activities with industrial hemp. It was on the November 7, 2002 election ballot in South Dakota where it failed with 196,060 votes opposed.

Text of the proposal

Initiated Measure 1 proposes a law that would make it legal under state law, but not under federal law, for a person to plant, cultivate, harvest, possess, process, transport, sell or buy industrial hemp (cannabis) or any of its by-products with a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content of one percent or less.

A vote "Yes" would adopt the state law.

A vote "No" would leave state law as it is.
