Yeah Initiative 65A was placed on the ballot by legislators to confuse people and basically do nothing with no start date or anything everything would be left up to the state where 65 had a start date and guaranteed people would be able to safely use cannabis within the next year and while maybe not quite like Oklahoma but closer to Missouri and other State Medical programs where there are 22 conditions one being opioid prescription replacement which is good but 70% of people are okay with Cannabis use here it’s just State Legislators have refused to do anything the past 20 years and killed like 22 bills that’s why people didn’t want to vote 65A and leave the program in their hands but this was the most reasonable first step to kinda get the ball rolling here.
I don’t smoke anymore, or should I say consume anymore….. but I do want to become a certified grower for the dispensaries here in Mississippi. I’d like to get in on the ground level of this thing. I have so many questions! Can someone with legal knowledge reach out and contact me?
You are incorrect in your assessment. We passed the LEAST restrictive measure. 65A was NOT wide open.
I’m interested in knowing what would prevent someone from working in the cannabis industry. Lots of people are interested in it but don’t know even the qualifications because the state has not been clear.
i wonder how they will regulate dispensaries?
Just a couple of comments- some of the reporting is wrong here (source: I live in Mississippi and am a long time cannabis advocate) the lawsuit is not coming from private citizens challenging the initiative, the lawsuit is coming from the mayor of a "white flight" city, Madison. Their suit claims that the way signatures were gathered for the initiative for it to be placed on the ballot was unconstitutional. Long story short, the state constitution states that a certain % of signatures must come from each of the 5 congressional districts that are in MS. MS lost a congressional seat in the 2000s after the census, knocking us down from 5 seats to 4 seats. I believe in 2005 (could be incorrect) the courts ruled that any initiative seeking signatures could do so following the rules laid out in the constitution, including the former 5th congressional seat. Many initiatives have been placed on the ballot following this method and it has not been challenged until this particular initiative – Madison’s mayor is claiming that because the initiative collected signatures at the % from the old congressional seat districts that it is invalid, because MS now only has 4. It’s basically some Mickey Mouse bullshit to delay the implementation of Medical Cannabis.
The legalization of MedMJ is huge for MS and shows that while we have shitty people in charge, the actual voters of MS are coming into this century. Would love for you guys to maybe have someone who actually lives in MS and is an advocate for cannabis on next time so they can help you get the facts straight.
Hello. Please message me if you know info about becoming a treatment center. Any info would be helpful.
As a person with substance abuse problems in the past I I welcome this. Had all my teeth pulled due to meth use ( been clean 4 years now) and they prescribed me opiates for the pain. The opiates messed up my digestive system. Diarrhea, constipation, gird, and a few other symptoms. I smoke a joint and my discomfort subsides and I get hungry. And it helps with the depression associated with long term drug use. If you get caught with one gram of weed you are looking at up to $ 2000 dollars in fines,bail, car impound, lost work for going to court and a definite license suspension which has its own associated problems. Can’t wait to smoke my first legal joint.
I’m a ms resident. They got the former Arizona health department head for help.
Still waiting on the paperwork for grow farms before there will be treatment center’s
Did y’all reach out to anyone with the medical marijuana campaign to make a guest appearance?
Most people don’t realize they will need a Cannabis Business License as well as a Cultivation Permit from USDA. We are one step closer here to getting things wrapped up. Staying in touch with the USDA, and SOS has been key.
I live in Biloxi and I’m trying to obtain a license so any and all info would be helpful thank you
Hey Miggy next time you’re in Biloxi MS. Head 120 miles north on Hwy 49 so I can turn your head around backwards.
Y’all got backwards. Should have did your research first. "Ignorant folks"
I want and can get a medical card here in Mississippi they say they won’t hand one out till july2021 wow
It was the city of Madison that tried to get it over turned I stay 30 minutes from there and that where your republican elite stay it’s a trip.
I’m buying land and looking for investors in a cannibus business right now
I like Mississippi. Except for the racism. If they had passed a law like Oklahoma’s already I might well have considered moving there from Georgia instead of here to Oklahoma. I like the Hattiesburg / Laurel area, but then I’m partial the the southeastern forests. I can tell you this: Oklahoma’s law has made a paradise for consumers. Prices at the dispensaries are unbelievable.
