Who is the first donor listed on the New Approach South Dakota—Medical Cannabis 2017 year-end campaign finance disclosure? Republican Speaker of the House Mark Mickelson:
Mickelson also helped the medical cannabis campaign with cash from his ballot question committees:
Speaker Mickelson thus provided 16% of the funds supporting the medical cannabis petition drive, the only New Approach petition that made it to the Secretary of State’s office.
Man! A bunch of stupid, evil legislation and one good deed. How does a person deal with these conflicting character elements?
Bob, you know darned well that young Mr. Mickelson is not going to buy our breakfast tomorrow at Talleys, but he would probably call in and give a speech over the phone if we asked him. I dare say this young man may be having an early onslaught of that brain rot, that dementia stuff. It is sad, sad indeed. Gravy taters will all be on me tomorrow, if Mr. Mickelson doesn’t show. Like usual, rules require the smoking and toking to be in the alley after breakfasting is done.
Weed is bad. The demon weed is bad, it is bad.

I applaud anyone that supports medical marijuana, there needs to be alternative forms of pain management when other medically approved means are removed from legitimate chronic pain patients.
