There is a great story in the Mitchell Daily Republic about Medicinal Marijuana and Measure 13’s organizer, Emmett Reistroffer

“I think the compassion aspect of this is what’s driving our campaign, and that’s what South Dakotans relate to,” Reistroffer said. “South Dakotans are generally compassionate for the sick and dying. They just need to understand the logistics of the issue, so that’s what we’re working hard to do.”

Emmett will get this done. Guaranteed. Nice banner BTW 🙂

Hello everyone:
Well, I made it through probation and now I can again say publicly that the Earth revolves around the sun. You can catch up on the medical cannabis proposition at http://decorumforum.blogspot.com/.
Emmett Reistroffer will be in Rapid City Thursday afternoon at the Summer Nights concert at 7th and St. Joe downtown. Emmett, of course, is the guy who, more than any other single person, is responsible for the fact that South Dakotans will be voting in November whether to allow sick, disabled and dying patients to use cannabis to alleviate their conditions.
South Dakotans for Compassion, the organization which includes Emmett as its principal officer, has a website you should visit.
Look for the SDCompassion.org table in art alley or in front of the Staging Grounds at 7th & St Joe.
Emmett has asked me to invite you to participate in the parade in Deadwood on Friday and/or Saturday as a member of So. Dakotans for Compassion. Please reply if you would like to do this. We’d like to present a group of people of all ages. We may be costumed by the Deadwood parade committee.
And stop by the SoDak Compassion table Thursday night at Summer Nights. Emmett has some suggestions on how you can help promote Initiated Measure 13, the South Dakota Safe Access Act.
Best regards,
Bob Newland
