People with a South Dakota medical marijuana card are allowed to purchase up to three ounces of cannabis products at a state-licensed dispensary. That prompted cultivation companies to begin operations in South Dakota. One of them is located in Brandon.

Buy medical marijuana in South Dakota, and there is a good chance this is where it came from.

Shangri-La Cultivation sells to dispensaries all over the state. At this facility, there are separate rooms full of marijuana plants. Some big, some small. Once a plant reaches 12 inches, it is tagged.

“They can pull up all the tags right now in Pierre and see every plant that we have growing in here,” said Brian Ruben.
