But it s what didn t happen that the 2021 Legislative Session might be most remembered for.
For 128 days, dozens if not hundreds of legal and political minds in South Dakota discussed, deliberated and acted in response to a pair of voter-backed ballot measures to end marijuana prohibition in the state.
And despite countless hours of time logged by Gov. Kristi Noem s staff since Nov. 3 to stall a new era of marijuana laws in the state, not to mention the work put in by legislators and lobbyists both in support and opposed to the governor s anti-marijuana positions, South Dakota is right where it started when lawmakers made their pilgrimage home from Pierre this week.

Two people died in a head-on crash when their vehicle was struck by a pickup on Thursday, the North Dakota Highway Patrol said.
The crash occurred at about 7:27 p.m. on U.S. Highway 52, 1 mile southeast of Anamoose, N.D.
The patrol said a 29-year-old Harvey, N.D., man was traveling northwest on the two-lane highway in a 2016 Ford F-150 when he entered the opposite lane to pass a semi-truck. While attempting to pass the semi-truck, the driver struck a 2006 Pontiac Montana minivan head-on.
The minivan rolled into the south ditch, coming to rest on its side; the pickup remained on the highway. The minivan driver, a 49-year-old woman from Martin, N.D., and her passenger, a 55-year-old man from Martin, were dead at the scene, the patrol said.
