Senate legislation to permit qualified patients to legally possess and cultivate cannabis was never acted on by members of the Public Health and Welfare committee this legislative session.
Senate Bill 2358 sought to permit patients with a “debilitating medical condition” to engage in marijuana therapy in accordance with a physician’s recommendation. The measure would have also rescheduled marijuana under state law.
Twenty-six states and the District of Columbia have enacted statewide provisions allowing patients access to cannabis therapy. Mississippi patients deserve these same protections.
NORML would like to thank those of you who contacted your state Senator in support of this legislation.
