Medical Marijuana in South Dakota

South Dakota will vote on a medical marijuana initiative in November, and it looks like it will be an uphill battle. According to my sources within the campaign, the measure is not doing well in internal polling, but it is early. The campaign is laying low for now, but has already found a patient spokesperson and a former policeman as a spokesman. Bob Newland, South Dakota's "Mr. Marijuana," the hemp/pot/medical marijuan activist responsible for the initiative has agreed to keep a low profile, while MPP's experienced cadres run the show. Articles on the South Dakota campaign will show up periodically in the Chronicle. This is my state, and I'm actually here, and I intend to get involved as well as write about it.

Medical Marijuana in South Dakota

Today's show will take a look at the Medical Marijuana proposal before voters this November. We'll hear from four experts - two from each side of this issue. We also want to hear from you! Do you think doctors should be able to prescribe Marijuana to patients with cancer or another medical illness? Or are you concerned that this might open the door and make the drug problem worse in South Dakota?
