In episode 8, we have our first Medical Marijuana patient and home cultivator on the podcast. Huge thank you to Hunter for being our first South Dakota Medical Marijuana Cardholder to be on the show!

Hunter takes us through his journey to get certified, the requirements he had to meet in order to home cultivate, and offers some tips that could improve the home cultivation program.

Getting Certified

A mix of both physical clinic locations and Outreach Clinics is necessary for patients with chronic conditions to get certified. If the state wants to eliminate Outreach Clinics, they need to replace them with a telehealth option. Asking people with chronic conditions to drive several hours to get certified for their medical card is unconscionable. Especially when you take into account that the average age of cardholders is about 50 – 52 years old.

Not offering telehealth also creates a significant amount of confusion for anyone trying to find out how or where to get certified. Why? Because the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe’s (FSST) Medical Marijuana Program DOES offer telehealth. The majority of South Dakotans still do not understand that the South Dakota Medical Marijuana Program and the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe’s (FSST) Medical Marijuana Programs are completely separate.

You can use telehealth to get your FSST Card, you can NOT use telehealth to get your South Dakota Card.

Advice to anyone wanting a South Dakota State Card and an FSST Card – Get your South Dakota Card first then get your FSST Card. FSST allows you to use your South Dakota State Card in lieu of an additional telehealth visit with a physician to get your FSST Card.
