JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Nearly 75-percent of eligible Mississippi voters who cast a ballot in 2020 supported initiative 65. On Friday, the Mississippi Supreme Court overturned the initiative.
12 News spoke to Mississippians to get there reaction to the decision.
Those who followed this through from meetings with the secretary of state’s office to cast their ballot on the matter feel shocked their voice did not carry the weight it is worth. Others are confused as to why this had to happen.
Through initiative 65, organizations like the Mississippi Medical Marijuana Association hoped to put an end to those suffering from certain medical conditions.
