Possessing, using, or selling marijuana in the State of South Dakota is completely illegal. The state has not decriminalized use for medical nor recreational purposes. Although South Dakotas laws are strict, they are not as strict as some other states. Either way, it's best not to get caught with marijuana as you will face criminal charges which will be on your record. Let's look at the laws:
