A+ Mike Rohl (R - SD) LEGALIZE, TAX, AND REGULATE DECRIMINALIZE MEDICAL USE

Holds office State Senate District 1

Position on Marijuana Legalization

Rohl said he agrees that much of the state favors the legalization of medical marijuana. And, he said, recreational marijuana also should be legal. Now, he said, there are hundreds of strains of marijuana, each with different effects. As an illegal product, those who want to buy go through a dealer and don’t know which variety they’re getting.

Rohl said buying through a “black market” dealer also opens up people to other illegal substances and pointed to the state’s methamphetamine problem as an example.

If legalized, Rohl said marijuana needs to be regulated and limited to users who are 21 or older.

Comments

Regarding a bill limiting the number of marijuana plants allowed in one's home:

In the Senate, Michael Rohl says he supported the higher number of plants but is happy home cultivation will go forward. “I’m glad to see that the House is understanding that banning home cultivation isn’t the right approach. I do wish that they would focus on the governor’s promise that they would provide the best medical marijuana program for patients." 3/9/22
