South Dakota-based 605 Cannabis is suing the state’s Department of Health, alleging regulatory overreach and the improper issuance of violations leading to more than $1 million worth of damages.

A South Dakota medical cannabis company is suing the state Department of Health (DOH) alleging overreach, attempts to enforce unpromulgated rules, and the improper issuance of violations which has led to damages of over $1 million, KELO reports. The case by 605 Cannabis dates back to an inspection of their facility in January which the company claims was carried out improperly and conducted while the facility was partially closed due to a blizzard. 

In the complaint, 605 claims that DOH inspections are required under law to occur during normal business hours and that the health department’s inspection occurred while 605 was operating with limited staff, “not fully operational, not open during its normal business hours, and key staff members were not present.”
