STURGIS, S.D. – Starting today, the city of Sturgis will be accepting applications for medical cannabis dispensaries.
Sturgis City Manager Daniel Ainslie says two licenses are available for dispensaries and unlimited licenses for cannabis manufacturing and testing.
The deadline for dispensary application submissions is 6:00 p.m., Tuesday, November 23.
If more than two dispensary licenses are received, a lottery will be held on December 6th at the Sturgis City Council meeting.
Applicants are also required to submit license applications to the South Dakota Department of Health, which would process the applications following the City’s processing. The license from the City is provisional, contingent on the applicant receiving a registration certificate from the South Dakota Department of Health.
Applications can be submitted through the CitizenServe portal, which is http://www2.citizenserve.com/sturgis
After submitting an online application, applicants will need to go to City Hall for a notarized signature (bring ID) and to make payment.
