The History of Mississippi Marijuana
Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant signed a limited medical marijuana bill also known as Harper Grace’s Law on April 17, 2014. The law allows for state residents suffering from a debilitating epileptic condition a legal protection for the use and possession of CBD oil, a marijuana extract. The law only allows for the National Center for Natural Products Research at the University of Mississippi to produce and the Department of Pharmacy Services at the University of Mississippi to dispense the CBD oil.
On November 30, 2017, the Minnesota Department of Health announced the addition of autism and obstructive sleep apnea to the state’s limited medical marijuana program. Starting July 1, 2018, patients who suffer from these conditions will be eligible to apply for the program.
A medical marijuana initiative has began collecting signatures to appear on the 2020 ballot. Mississippi Medical Marijuana 2020 is backed by Mississippians for Compassionate Care. The campaign must collect 86,185 certified signatures to appear on the 2020 ballot.
