Mississippi Independent Cannabis Association to visit state capitol
PINE BELT, Miss. (WDAM) – A number of medical marijuana stakeholders might be on the state capitol Wednesday, Feb. 1.
The Mississippi Impartial Hashish Affiliation has invited native hashish enterprise house owners and operators from across the state of Mississippi to convene on the state capitol.
The capitol day occasion will give small enterprise house owners within the hashish trade a chance to debate amendments to Mississippi Home Invoice 1158. This invoice incorporates key modifications to Mississippi’s medicinal marijuana legislation enacted final 12 months.
“We’re being flooded by out-of-state functions, and these guys, as quickly as they come up with a revenue, it’s out of state,” mentioned Pete Stokes, govt director of MICA. “These native guys, if their enterprise is succeeding, you’re going to see that flourish. They’re going to purchase vehicles right here, they’re going to purchase homes right here, they’re going to purchase groceries right here, so all that impacts our economic system.”
“We’re actually excited that the legislature is receptive to our message, that they’re listening to us, that they put amendments within the invoice for us and that native companies have a chance to thrive and we are able to set this market upright,” added Stokes.
The assembly is about for 8 a.m. Wednesday morning.
