Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves approved HB 2095, officially authorizing a medical cannabis program for people with debilitating conditions such as cancer, AIDS and sickle cell disease. Municipalities may opt-out (of one or more, or all activities) within 90 days of the effective date (which is May 3, 2022) or they cannot opt-out at all. Once a jurisdiction opts out, there is no restriction on when they may vote to opt back in, but once they hold the vote after first opting out, they cannot revisit the decision for two years. There is no cap on licenses, but the bill lays out standard distance requirements that could be trouble for future applicants via zoning restrictions. Under the bill, dispensaries will report to the Department of Revenue and all other licenses (testing and research facilities, distribution, cultivation, processing, and disposal) will be overseen by the Department of Health.
