Yesterday, the Mississippi Department of Health made two announcements that show the MDOH and state are trucking right along towards having an active medical cannabis program in place by the June and July deadlines contained in the Medical Cannabis Act.
We are watching this closely, along with the efforts underway across the state to gather the signatures needed to set up local, special elections that could potentially override these opt-out decisions.
The city’s development code was officially amended yesterday to, among other things, preclude any medical cannabis businesses in Tupelo’s Fairpark District, require special approval by the planning committee to operate a cultivation facility that is larger than 15,000 square feet, and require payment of a “nominal administrative fee” and obtaining a special privilege license and building permit to operate a medical cannabis business.
