How to apply:

• Physicians can now access the medical cannabis patient portal and begin certifying medical cannabis patients. Once certified by a physician, patients will then be able to access the online application process and complete their applications. Approved applicants will have medical cannabis patient card mailed to them. View application portal here.
• Patient Process Overview
  • Patients cannot start the medical cannabis application process until their physician creates a certification, which will automatically create a patient account. In South Dakota, dispensaries, not pharmacies, sell cannabis. Medical certification is not a prescription.
