Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves signed a medical cannabis legalization bill into law Feb. 2 and already, the State Department of Health is making plans to accept applications for patients, medical practitioners and businesses.
The department announced Feb. 4 that it plans to launch the licensing process by June, according to the Associated Press.
Mississippi’s medical cannabis law allows qualified patients with debilitating conditions such as cancer, AIDS and sickle cell diseases to purchase up to 3.5 grams of cannabis per day, up to 6 days a week.
