  1. Never thought the easiest route to recreational marijuana would be through the reservations. Never did I imagine spending thousands on the reservation over the year just to buy a product we the people voted to legalize two years ago. I work for a cannabis farm, still have to drive an hr and a half just to legally buy some product, since the states attempt (if you can even call it that) at med is a fucking embarrassment they should be ashamed about. Fucking authoritarian fascists. Glad to give my money to the reservation. And street dealers are absolutely thriving now, since cops know it's coming, know there is medicinal but nobody can get access to a med card or med product so cops aren't cracking down on dealers, meaning south Dakota street dealers are collectively making tens of millions that would otherwise be taxed and making the state of SD millions so I think street dealers and the guys on the reservations couldn't be happier about the way Kristi has handled this. The republican business man behind our operation.. not so happy. He vowed to put his Kristi noem donation/handout money towards legalization campaigns, guess he reaped what he sowed for being a trump guy and supporting the increasingly authoritarian agenda trump, noem and the rest of the more delusional right wing, that's hardly right wing at all, has been pushing

  10. Shame on you Governor Noem! Was a huge fan of your state and h the e way you handled COVID-19 etc.

    Denying The People what they VOTED for is unacceptable and you resign immediately.

  11. Politicians have forgotten that they work for the people. Anyone politician or court who tramples the will of the people should be removed from office permanently. It time for we the people to take our country and freedom back from these corrupt politicians and courts. They have no power except that which the people allow. Vote them out and take to the streets. Live free or die.

  12. The only thing flawed is her going against the voice of the people and saying it somehow goes against the constitution. This political beat around the bush crap has got to go because nobody in the real world can accomplish anything while we have to wait for these psychopathic narcissist play their money games.

  13. What I don’t get , maybe someone can explain it to me, is the argument here is they say the amendment is unconstitutional because there was to much in the bill we were voting on for us to understand what we were voting on, right?? This argument doesn’t hold water no matter how you slice it. How many bills do we vote on that have multiple parts to the bill?? Most I would think. Then why are they not striking the whole bill down instead of just the recreational Marijuana section or why not strike down the Medical marijuana and leave the recreational Marijuana part ,it was all part of the same bill, right. It looks more like because we voted to legalize marijuana across the board, to the surprise of some select few, now they want to change the results.

  15. “I don’t think” Most honest statement from a politician ever made. This cunt went AGAINST the vote of the people. All because — she don’t think you should be using cannabis. So unfair to those who voted for it.

  18. Noem is a liar. The constitution states that the people of south dakota govern themselves and that the governor is a representative of the state, elected to do the will of the people! She just stomped on %63 of the voting base of south dakota. This isn't 63% of republican or democrat or whatever party. It's 63% of south dakotans. What a dumbass. I don't see re-election in her future.

  25. Noem iies that legalization is unconstitutional. – The fraudulent marijuana prohibition violates nine of the ten amendments in the Bill of Rights.

    It violates the first amendment because freedom of speech has been suppressed for decades to protect the great fraud. It is only with the open access provided by the Internet that we have been able to get out the truth.

    It violates the second amendment because the fraudulent prohibition makes gun ownership a crime just for possessing marijuana. (The Kettle Falls Five (state compliant WA patients) were looking at 25 year charges for the combo possession of gun/cannabis alone.)

    It violates the fourth amendment because marijuana consumers have DEFINITELY been subject to unreasonable search and seizure.

    It violates the fifth amendment in that it causes double – and triple jeopardy, etc. When one receives the initial "punishment" from being "caught" with marijuana, they are still subject to monstrous ADDITIONAL punishments. In fact, they are relegated to PERMAMENT status of second-class citizenship – with huge obstacles they will forever face to decent employment, housing, education, travel, government benefits, and will always go into court with a strike against them. They can even have their children taken away!

    "Drug testing" is a perfect example of self-incrimination. If we can legally keep spouses from testifying against us, how did we allow them to make our OWN BODIES testify against us? Drug testing is supremely un-American in that it turns the principle of "innocent until proven guilty" on its head. With drug testing, everyone is guilty until proven "innocent."

    It violates the sixth amendment by trashing the rights of the accused. In several cases, the one of Ed Rosenthal being the most egregious, medical marijuana providers LICENSED AND USED BY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, were monstrously forbidden to mention the marijuana grows they were tending were for medical purposes, in behalf of local governments.

    It violates the seventh amendment by creating the fiction of "property creating crime." This naughty property is then confiscated without a trial, and the victims have to take extraordinary measures to attempt to get it back – usually failing.

    It violates the eighth amendment very clearly. Any kind of punishment for consuming a non-addictive plant FAR less harmful than alcohol is obviously "cruel and unusual" – much less years in jail. President Carter noted this back in 1978.

    It violates the ninth amendment because consuming marijuana is clearly one of the unenumerated rights it protects.

    It violates the tenth amendment because marijuana prohibition clearly was NOT delegated to the U.S. by the Constitution. It is thereby purely the province of the states – and the people.

    The monstrously destructive fraud of marijuana prohibition is as unconstitutional as you can get.

  26. Noem is the most corrupt governor in the country. – NO other state has voided a citizen initiative to re-legalize marijuana. So the taxpayers are paying for the lawsuit to stop the initiative that the majority voted for! This is fascism, people. We need our democracy back! – Recall Gov. Noem!
