Has Cannabis Been Legalized in

South Dakota?

South Dakota voters approved medical cannabis in November 2020. As of now, medical marijuana is legally accessible for patients with qualifying conditions, and adult-use remains under review. The minimum age for medical patients is 18, with valid state-issued medical ID. Because legal frameworks continue to evolve, staying informed and financially prepared is essential.

How to Get a Cannabis License in

South Dakota?

South Dakota offers medical cannabis licenses for organizations that cultivate, manufacture, and dispense products. License application fees vary by the type of license sought. You’ll apply through the South Dakota Department of Health, providing background checks, business plans, security measures, and proof of finances. The process can take time and effort—being thorough and organized can help you stand out.

We worked with Leo for our line of credit. We are a trucking company an can be a challenge to secure financing. The process was smooth and fast funding. Our only complaint would be that Leo was a little impatience when it came to our decision making. We are very thankful for the funding and would do business with them again. Thanks,
Upwise

I rarely write reviews, but my experience with Leo was absolutely. Leo was patient, knowledgeable, and extremely responsive. During a hectic work week he continued to bare with me to be sure that i had all the information I was requesting. He got me the capital I needed within one day. I highly recommend this company!
