Bill > HC39

This Concurrent Resolution proposes a new section to the Mississippi Constitution to establish a program for the medical use of marijuana products by qualified individuals with debilitating medical conditions, serving as a legislative alternative to Initiative Measure No. 65, which was also on the November 2020 ballot. The proposed program, to be administered by a state agency with input from health professionals, would ensure that marijuana products are of pharmaceutical quality, prepared by licensed manufacturers, and administered by licensed healthcare providers, with specific restrictions on smoking marijuana products to only those with terminal conditions, and would include a patient registry for tracking and assessment.
