Now that the state Supreme Court has struck down medical marijuana and the ballot initiative process, it’s up to the Legislature to decide how to proceed.� Several lawmakers have expressed a willingness to go into special session to either reinstate the ballot initiative process, sort out the medical marijuana program, or both.� Only the Governor can call a special session, and he is still mulling that over.
Ken Newburger, the Director of the MS Medical Marijuana Association, recognizes the issues some had with the program.� During an interview on�The Gallo Radio Show�on�SuperTalk Mississippi, he said he hopes things can be worked out.� “I think it’s very obvious when you look at the Legislature and the Mississippi Municipal League, they all had grievances with the way Initiative 65 was structured.� We need to bring everybody to the table to fix those problems.”
He’s hopeful they’ll come to some sort of an agreement.� “It’s great that the Legislature has already recognized the problem of medical marijuana and the constitutional process going away.� I don’t think there needs to be a giant campaign from the MS Medical Marijuana Association.� I think we’re all ready to sit down and work together.� There are no villian’s here.� We’re ready to talk.”
