Can’t wait until November to send this guy packing from committee influence forever.
Watching the boring and rigged MMOC meeting presenters laughably lie about cannabis science and civil/legal rights in South Dakota this week I noticed the SAM females nodding and smirking knowingly when smarmy Carley’s name was mentioned.
That was cute, and informative, that body language.
Carley wants to play politics.
Fine.
Let’s play.
Opp research for any and all dirt on this cock sucking sum bitch officially requested to my national team.
Real quick real fast, please. Always professional.
Let’s learn to teach politicians what voters can do when smarmy slimeball politicians keep intentionally harming families and grandparents with police powers over medical cannabis post fed acceptance…or we can all just keep half assing advocacy and letting lawmakers expose the South Dakota marijuana movement has no grassroots network anymore.
Politicians who wanna politicize their loss on whether cannabis is accepted medicine by the Feds or not are beyond debate or discussion.
Destroy their careers. Or, they will continue trying to destroy yours.
I was already doing this after last years emotional girl boss, Josephine Garcia, took a public shit on Facebook and used her bully pulpit (as a now loser has been former lawmaker) to attack someone for pointing out playing politics with sick patients lives and introducing bills to repeal medical cannabis laws has consequences in South Dakota.
Accordingly,
Step one: actively recruit and find Republicans to run for office in Carley’s district.
Step two: prepare campaign opposition research memo to find any and all weak points if this piece of political human dog shit runs for office again and have on hand.
Welcome to America.
Lessons learned in 17 years and four bills passed Governor campaign manager governor debate moderator House races in multiple states consultant and also, drug dealer to presidential campaign staff for 20 years over five candidates…are coming to bear on this 2026 primary election loser. Even if he lost his reelection this year for being such a slimy weirdo in how he approached his short lived and hopefully never repeated political career at a lowly House level pretending he’s a stakeholder, preparations to ensure this authentically creepy dude doesn’t get to hold power over grandmothers needing CBD any longer.
Also, find out if he has an addiction trauma in his past associates that makes him this unreasonable. Usually that’s what motivates these crazy people. The kind of douche whose brain is addled from having never actually used marijuana. These truly emotional train wrecks prefer a rigged schedule one system that by law disallows schedule one research so they don’t have to admit they were wrong for targeting patients.
Patients are the sole stakeholders that matter. This guy is bad faith lying about intent rigging big government against business and sick people. Fuck him. Two years to prepare so he can’t slither back to power is warranted. For me though it takes about five minutes.
Experience, execution, results. I could fit that on a campaign bumper sticker. $50,000 endorsement money for a House candidate buys lots of bumper stickers. And my orga annual budget of $14 million? Well.
See you all after the election! Make sure to vote extra hard this time. That way, your vote will count, but really hard, ya know?
And for those of you ready to actually admit the current South Dakota marijuana advocacy clique out there is a laughingstock at politics, and everyone in Pierre acts on that and knows it? Just wait until November. Grand Theft Auto 6 comes out in November.*
Opposition research summary: South Dakota State Senator John Carley (R-District 29)
Background and profile
• Current office: State Senator, District 29 (Meade County and parts of Pennington/Butte), assumed office January 14, 2025. Vice Chair of the Medical Marijuana Oversight Committee (MMOC). Vice Chairman of the South Dakota Freedom Caucus.
• Personal: Born in Colorado. BS in Organizational Leadership from Biola University (2005). Married, father of five. Lives in Piedmont. Business owner (digital marketing/tech, hospitality, rare fruit orchard). Affiliated with National Religious Broadcasters, NRA, South Dakota Right to Life, Family Voice, Family Research Council, American Legion.
• Political: Lifelong conservative Republican. First elected in 2024 primary (defeated Kirk Chaffee ~60–40%), unopposed in general. Lost 2026 Republican primary to William J. Meirose. Previously ran and lost in 2022 primary.
Cannabis / medical marijuana positions and actions
Carley has been one of the most consistent legislative opponents of South Dakota’s medical cannabis program (voter-approved in 2020 via IM 26). Key examples:
• SB 181 (2026): Primary sponsor of a bill that would have repealed the entire medical cannabis chapter (SDCL 34-20G) 90 days after federal rescheduling of marijuana to Schedule III. Defeated unanimously in Senate Health and Human Services (deferred to 41st day). Carley framed it as aligning the state with federal “medicine” status; opponents (including industry and patient advocates) called it an attempt to end the program for ~18,000 patients.
• SB 194 (2026): Primary sponsor of a bill imposing strict THC potency caps (e.g., 5% on oils, 5 mg per serving on edibles, 60% on concentrates). Defeated in the same committee (6–1). Critics called the limits arbitrary and non-scientific.
• MMOC role: As Vice Chair, he has pushed for tighter regulation, THC caps, warning labels, education programs on risks, bans on non-dispensary THC products, and more reporting on hospitalizations/drugged driving. He and Chair Josephine Garcia have clashed with the Department of Health over data requests and with industry advocates over speaker selection and perceived anti-program bias. He requested the Attorney General’s Opinion 26-06 (which concluded federal Schedule III has negligible impact on the state program).
• Pattern: Supports restrictive measures and has co-sponsored or advanced efforts that patient and industry groups view as attempts to undermine or shrink the program rather than improve access or implementation.
Other legislative priorities (relevant context)
• Freedom Caucus alignment: Focus on limited government, election integrity, and social conservatism. Sponsored the “South Dakota SAVE Act” (SB 175) requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote (passed with emergency clause). Sponsored a bill requiring Ten Commandments displays in public school classrooms (passed Senate narrowly).
• Other: Pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment, lower taxes/spending, landowner protections. One bill success rate has been low (commentary noted 1 of 21 sponsored bills advancing in one session). Criticized by some within the broader GOP for caucus tactics.
Political vulnerabilities and context
• Primary loss (2026): Defeated in the Republican primary, indicating limited support even within the GOP base in his district.
• Perception of hostility to medical program: Patient advocates, industry representatives, and some legislators have publicly characterized MMOC leadership (including Carley) as stacking hearings with anti-cannabis voices and pursuing restrictions that conflict with the voter-approved program.
• Narrow electoral base: District is solidly Republican; his path has relied on primary victories. Freedom Caucus association places him on the right flank of the South Dakota GOP.
• Public record: Limited personal controversies beyond legislative positions. Strong conservative Christian and small-business branding.
Summary assessment
Carley’s public record shows a clear, consistent preference for restricting or potentially eliminating South Dakota’s medical cannabis program rather than expanding patient access or resolving federal–state implementation issues. His MMOC role and sponsorship of SB 181 and SB 194 are the most direct evidence. He pairs this with standard Freedom Caucus priorities (election integrity, social conservatism, limited government). The 2026 primary loss is the clearest recent political data point on his support within his own party.
This is based on publicly available legislative records, committee minutes, news reporting, and official biographies as of mid-October 2026. For deeper primary-source review, the LRC bill pages for SB 181/SB 194 and MMOC hearing documents are the most useful next stops.
