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

Barely a year later, after being dragged on for so long, the state’s Supreme Court has kicked out the initiative.

The Court argued that the ballot initiative went against the “single object” rule required for amending contents of a constitution.
