South Dakota State lawmakers approved the majority of proposed medical marijuana industry regulations submitted by the state health department, but they rejected several proposed rules that would have restricted the MMJ program. The rules must be finalized by Oct. 29, per the state medical marijuana legalization law that voters approved last year, and the health department must be prepared by Nov. 18 to issue MMJ registration cards to patients. Among the proposed rules rejected: * A ban on advertising for medical marijuana businesses. * A mandate that all products delivered to retailers be prepackaged. * A list of eight debilitating medical conditions that would qualify patients to register for the MMJ program. * A 4-gram possession limit for MMJ patients on cannabis extracts with a potency of 60% or greater and a second proposed rule that was similar. * A limit on home cultivation of three marijuana plants per patient unless more are specifically recommended by a physician.
