Ballot initiative sought to legalize marijuana in Mississippi

Group seeks ballot initative to legalize marijuana in MS

A group has filed a petition seeking a ballot initiative to legalize marijuana in Mississippi.

The group, Mississippi for Cannabis, is hoping to place an initiative on the November 2016 election ballot.

The group filed the petition Monday with the Secretary of State’s satellite office in Hernando, says petition organizer Kelly Jacobs. It’s the initial process in the ballot process.
