Nearly $10 million has gone into ballot measures in Arkansas, Missouri, North Dakota and South Dakota since 2021.

Amendment A, the ballot measure legalizing recreational marijuana use for adults, which is why a similar measure is back on the ballot this election season.

Initiated Measure 27 is “a shorter, simpler version” of Amendment A, Matthew Schweich, the campaign manager of South Dakotans for Better Marijuana Laws, told OpenSecrets in an interview. “We wrote a very short and simple statutory initiative that we felt had the lowest chance of being taken to court on a single subject challenge,” Schweich said, adding his team was working to “restore the will of the people” in South Dakota who voted to legalize recreational marijuana in 2020.
