As we await a ruling from the state Supreme Court on whether or not the initiative process used to legalize medical marijuana was constitutional, a Moss Point doctor–David Allen–has introduced Initiative 77.� This proposal takes Initiative 65 further.� It would basically legalize marijuana, decriminalize it’s use, and make it legal for doctor to study any potential health benefits.

During an interview on�The Gallo Show�on�SuperTalk MS,�Allen explained that he believes attitudes are changing, and that cannabis can be used to treat a number of health conditions without causing harm.
“Cannabis has addictive properties of only 7-9%, which is exactly the same as coffee.� It’s much less addictive than alcohol or tobacco, and certainly less harmful than any pharmaceutical that you can name,” Allen said.
He does have a history of run-ins with the law, and in the past has faced drug charges related to the cultivation and possession of marijuana.
Initiative 77 has a long road ahead before it would make its way onto a general election ballot.� First, it’ll need 106-thousand signatures.� It’s really up to residents to decide whether it survives.
