How Can the South Dakota Supreme Court Strike Down the Voter-Approved Marijuana Legalization Initiative?

In November 2020, South Dakota voters came out in large droves to vote for the cannabis legalization initiative. Barely a year later, after being dragged on for so long, the state’s Supreme Court has kicked out the initiative. The organizers of the initiatives and other cannabis advocates in the state have no other choice but to start afresh. The Court argued that the ballot initiative went against the “single object” rule required for amending contents of a constitution.
