“There’s a shock wave going through our community right now with guest speakers, most of them from out of state.”

By Joshua Haiar, South Dakota Searchlight

Representatives of South Dakota’s medical marijuana companies said they were concerned Wednesday after the state board that oversees the industry spent a day-long meeting listening to guest speakers who warned about health and other risks.

Emmett Reistroffer, of Genesis Farms in Sioux Falls, spoke during the public comment session at the end of the meeting.

“My phone has been blowing up with text messages,” she said. “There’s a shock wave going through our community right now with guest speakers, most of them from out of state.”

Reistroffer also said he fears the commission is participating in a coordinated effort to limit or repeal the state’s medical marijuana program, which was approved by voters in 2020 and implemented by the state in 2022. Currently 16,477 sick cards have been issued in the state.

Reistroffer’s comments were cut short by the chairwoman of the Medical Marijuana Oversight Committee, Rep. Josephine Garcia, R-Watertown.

“There was no intention at all to make the agenda of this meeting, other than to continue what was not done when this program was first opened,” said Garcia. “That was my only intention here. If you’re implying that I, as chair, said something or orchestrated something, I didn’t do that. It’s public awareness. This is a public safety issue.”

The panel of speakers included medical professionals and retired officials from other states who shared concerns about overprescription, youth access, mental health impacts and the mix between medical and recreational use.

Ed Moses, a retired Missouri law enforcement officer, spoke about the various dangers of marijuana. He believed medical marijuana to be a “Trojan horse” for recreational marijuana.

“Marijuana can change who we are and our values,” he told the committee.

Karen Randall, an emergency medicine physician in Colorado, said she sees both adults and children entering the emergency room due to marijuana-related incidents. He told a story about a kid who, without any identification, popped a marijuana candy product in the back of a dispensary and ended up in the emergency room.

Randall said Colorado has become overloaded with various marijuana products, and it’s now the drug of choice for kids there.

“They don’t drink, they don’t smoke like they used to; they use marijuana,” he said.

University of Oklahoma Professor John Duncan, who works in the School of Medicine, recommended to the committee that medical marijuana be treated in the same way as traditional medicine, including the prescribed dosage. He also said that the commission should pay attention to synthetic forms of marijuana that come with many other side effects.

Colorado addiction psychiatrist Libby Stuyt told the commission that medical marijuana is not the solution to traumatic stress disorder that medical marijuana advocates claim. He said patients prescribed medical marijuana for mental health disorders often confuse the feeling of withdrawal with needing more medicine — blurring treatment and addiction.

Wednesday’s lineup also included Sioux Falls Superintendent James Nold. He said marijuana has become a problem in schools, with students getting the product through adults.

Jeremiah Murphy, who lobbies for the medical marijuana industry, told commissioners during the public comment period that they should be proud of the state’s program.

“If you think about what you’ve heard today, they hardly hit the South Dakota program,” he said. “They showed us real, significant problems in Oklahoma.”

Reistroffer said the medical marijuana industry is taking heat for locals “smoke shops” that sell illegal products, including those derived from hemp but chemically modified ingredients. According to him, they are the ones selling high-dose “sweets” and products that attract children.

“We’re not, we’re still painting with their brush,” he said.

The committee made no formal recommendations and did not vote at the meeting. of the committee the members They are appointed by the Board of Directors of the Parliament. Membership includes legislative and non-legislative, state law requires membership in the medical, counseling, law enforcement and patient communities.
