These are the 12 people who will help write Mississippi s medical marijuana rules Isabelle Taft, The Sun Herald
Feb. 18 The group that will develop regulations for Mississippi s medical marijuana program met for the first time Wednesday morning.
The state s new Medical Marijuana Advisory Committee is comprised of 12 leaders of other state agencies, including the departments of public safety and agriculture, as well as State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs.
Under Initiative 65, the constitutional amendment voters overwhelmingly approved in November, the committee must finalize regulations by July 1. Business licenses and patient identification cards must be issued starting Aug. 15.
Whether that ends up happening will depend on the outcome of a lawsuit challenging the way Initiative 65 ended up on the ballot. The state Supreme Court could overturn the initiative and scuttle the medical marijuana program before it gets off the ground.
