As of October 22, 2026, CBN (Cannabinol) is legal to sell at retail in South Dakota. Hemp-legal; CBN unscheduled; non-psychoactive cannabinoids expressly carved out of the converted-cannabinoid ban. Controlling source: SDCL 38-35-1 (hemp / chemically derived cannabinoid carve-out).
Verified October 22, 2026 (hash check) · confidence: confirmedCBN is not named in SD's Schedule I (SDCL 34-20B-14(20),(47)) - the THC entry plus its 6,6-dimethyl-benzo[c]chromene class and the closed synthetic-cannabinoid list do not reach a distinct non-THC cannabinoid. The hemp cap is total delta-9 THC (not all-isomers). Decisively, SD's 'chemically derived cannabinoid' ban (38-35-1(7)) EXPRESSLY EXCLUDES non-psychoactive cannabinoids (38-35-1(3)(b)) - so even converted CBN remains a permitted hemp derivative, and CBN-in-isolation has no THC to cap.
'Chemically derived cannabinoid' ... The term does not include: (a) Cannabinoids produced by decarboxylation from a naturally occurring cannabinoid acid without the use of a chemical catalyst; (b) Non-psychoactive cannabinoids; or (c) Cannabinoids in a topical cream product.
Among South Dakota's 6 neighbors, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota and Wyoming are restricted; Nebraska is legal.
