JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Mississippi voters approved medical marijuana last November. But a new ballot initiative seeks to legalize marijuana for more than medical use and without any red tape.
The first step in getting marijuana legalized in Mississippi will be signature collection. But that’s not happening just yet.
A mistake in the required public notice process delayed the timeline. But Dr. David Allen, who filed the paperwork, says he’ll shoot to get it on next year’s ballot.
