Jackson, Ms is jacked up (Merged)

Welp, Colorado was the first snd biggest state to legalize the open use of pot. They are now the biggest abusers of cocaine. So just me thinking, maybe there is some correlation? 🤷‍♂️

But if people voted to legalize something, a governing body that overwrites the vote of the people, should be voted out as soon as the next election. That is just unbelievable, in any case.

Unfortunately there was a loop hole in state law regarding voter initiatives with congressional districts, had the state NOT lost a congressional district the vote would have stood up and no loop hole, though the MS Supreme Court found 6-3 that voter initiative was no good. So it’s NOT like the state just came in and said sorry folks you can’t have medical marijuana , it went to court brought on by a mayor from Madison, MS who is an odd bird to be nice, one of her reasons was she didn’t want to see medical marijuana advertisement all in her town, despite CBD advertisements with a marijuana leaf in her town.

The legislature did indeed give the citizens medical marijuana, took some time but citizens did get what they voted on. Now there were some changes with the biggest being you could now only get 4 ounces a month versus the original 5 ounces, so down an ounce. The other change was they allowed ever municipality a one time opt out chance or they would never have the chance again to opt out of the sale of medical marijuana within there municipality with a deadline, that deadline has long passed with very few cities opting out.
