SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Proponents of a measure to decriminalize pot in South Dakota are officially kicking off their campaign in Sioux Falls.

The group South Dakotans Against Prohibition is hosting a fundraising event Wednesday at a local bar, complete with glass blowing and free beer.

Under the proposed measure, possession of one ounce or less of marijuana would no longer be a criminal penalty, but a civil penalty similar to a speeding ticket.

Organizer Ryan Gaddy says he thinks the measure has support in the state, particularly because he estimates it would save the state millions of dollars in criminal costs.

Gaddy says the group has been collecting signatures for several weeks and plans to use Wednesday night’s event to raise money to cover gas and printing costs.
