Medical marijuana bill passes, heads to Mississipi governor

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi lawmakers are sending their governor a bill that would create a medical marijuana program for people with serious medical conditions.

If it becomes law, as anticipated, Mississippi would join the majority of states that let people use cannabis for medical reasons.

The House and Senate on Wednesday both passed the final version of the measure, Senate Bill 2095.

Republican Gov. Tate Reeves could sign the bill, veto it or let it become law without his signature. He has not said what he will do, but legislators passed it by a wide enough margin to override a veto.

1. Who would have thunk it?

The weed with roots in Hell is going to be legal in the Bible belt capital. It makes and old hippie's day. Mississippi recently upped the teacher pay too. What is happening in the state? Are they on dope?

2. Still illegal behind the Hoosier Iron Curtain.

Too many republicans in state government.
