Spearfish-Marijuana
SPEARFISH, SD – In preparation for the July 1 effective date for Initiated Measure 26, the voter-approved medical marijuana measure, the Spearfish City Council is updating City Code to prohibit the consumption/smoking of cannabis in public places.
City Attorney Ashley McDonald explained that nothing within the state statute permits, nor prohibits, the smoking of or consumption of marijuana in public, so the City needs to adopt an ordinance to clarify.
Monday, the City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance 1347, prohibiting the consumption/smoking of cannabis in public places, with the second reading scheduled for June 7. The ordinance would add a new section – 11-2 – to Chapter 11 (Miscellaneous Offenses), Article 1 (In General).
