Initiative to Legalize Cannabis Receives Approval from Mississippi Secretary of State

The group Mississippi mississippifor Cannabis has received approval from the Secretary of State to begin collecting signatures on their initiative to legalize recreational cannabis. The group will be required to collect 21,233 signatures from registered voters in four different districts by October 2nd to put the initiative to a vote of the people in the 2016 general election.

If placed on the ballot and approved into law, the initiative would legalize the possession and private cultivation of cannabis for those 21 and older, without setting any limits on how much a person can possess or grow. Cannabis retail outlets would also be authorized.

If advocates fail to gather the required number of signatures by October, they’ll have a new deadline of December; if they meet this deadline, the proposal will be placed on the 2017 general election ballot.

    Thank-you for writing about our Ballot Initiative 48 to totally legalize cannabis and industrial hemp, and forgive non violent cannabis offenders.
    Mississippians who want to legalize Cannabis, MUST BE REGISTERED TO VOTE. We need their names on our petition and then if we get enough signatures , as a yes vote on the ballot.
    Our website should have the ballot initiative loaded onto it soon.

    Lots of signatures to gather so the real work begins. This is a grassroots movement as the national legalization organizations have decided not to back us. #OVERGROW #YESON48

    This ballot initiative is to get the measure on the November 2016 ballot

    As a citizen of Mississippi where 24 percent of the citizens are living in poverty it is my belief that the legalization of Cannabis will give economic opportunity to a group of our citizens who have had very little economic opportunities and this has the potential to be a cash crop for our small farmers as well as large the economic opportunities are endless and a large reduction in the crime rate.

    Give people the opportunity to receive a better chance at living. The same way no one wants to be looked at during their sexual activity, no one wants to be hassled or convicted of releasing tension in a Godly way. If something is in the Bible then there has to be some purity or good in it. Revelations 22:2″The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. To some people ganja smoke is a sacrificial blessing.

          Seriously so what about alcohol and high school parties or parents drinking in front of their kids but that’s perfectly fine??!! That’s an ignorant statement within it self oh and what about all the garbage on TV kids are exposed to every single day oh and the Internet stop acting like weed is so detrimental to our “kids” but yet no reports can prove one single death caused by overdosing! And I’m talking about pure weed that is not laced with some other drug! It can have the same regulations as alcohol the exact same thing except it needs to be researched what’s the legal content that makes u too impaired to be able to drive just as alcohol! It’s time to stop listening to all the hype and not truthful information too many put out there without any proof or research that can back it up! Just ignornant!

        • Mary
          January 9, 2015

          Elizabeth, it is the parents’ job to teach their kids what is safe, and what is not, and what may be ok to try but only once you are older. If you drink a glass of wine, you tell your children they can’t have any until they are old enough for it to be legal, and mature enough to make the decision for themselves. But telling kids they can’t have something just because you said so, with no real reason to back it up will make them think you are stupid. Take tobacco use – with an honest education campaign directed towards children about the effect of tobacco, usage rates are dropping. But, despite tobacco being illegal for minors for decades, for years kids would smoke up to high heaven. Now they know the risk, and they are making a smart choice not to try it, or to at least wait until they are older. Making cannabis legal for adults offers kids an honest outlook – it is a safer alternative to tobacco and alcohol that some adults choose to use, but it is only for adults, and kids need to wait if they want to try it. Any kid who wants pot now will get it – drug dealers don’t I.D.. But if it is regulated, and the money brought in to the state through sales taxes can offer supplemental income to pay for informative public service announcements explaining to children that cannabis is for adults only, and that any person selling to children will be subject to legal penalties, whereas those who only sell legally to adults will not, things can get a lot safer. Also, even if kids send someone in to a store to buy it for them like they do with alcohol, you’ll know what they are getting is clean, not laced with some other drug that could hurt them like it might be when it comes from the black market. And, in those instances, the kids aren’t going to a drug dealers house and interacting with people who may or may not be involved with hard addictive drugs.

          In all honesty though, if you think it is ok for alcohol and tobacco to be legal when they kill thousands each year, including kids, but you want to try to keep cannabis under lock and key and throw kids in prison for it when it is safer and less likely to kill them than any other illegal substance they could be (and likely are) experimenting with, then you should feel the guilt on your conscience for every kid whose life is ruined by trying marijuana once and getting busted and thrown in jail for it, and for every kid who decides they should get drunk instead of trying marijuana because it’s easier to get and dies from alcohol poisoning.

          But if you look at science and studies done in places with relaxed cannabis laws, kid use rates drop. Just saying..

      No, I’ll tell you what is “retarded” ! I am a cancer survivor, but the treatments really messed me up. They ate my back up with radiation and left me disabled. I also have COPD and Glaucoma. The medicine for the COPD conflicts with the medicine for Glaucoma and there for, in order to breath I have to accept the fact that I’m going blind. Marijuana can be used for both, for most of the medical problems I have, but because it’s illegal I’m left to get worse instead of better! Instead of a handful of pills I could be treated with one herb. It’s “retarded” to make someone go blind or go to jail ! That is what is “retarded” as you so eloquently put it ! Damn straight I’m voting yes and signing the petition !

    Although legalization of cannabis would be beneficial to many , we all need to exploit the positive side an negative sides of the voting range . Over 1/4 of Mississippi registered voters are elderly people . We need to inform the public about this as soon as we can , promote ! Get the word out ! People are going to look at us like we’re just a bunch of dumb stones. But we are not ! We all are educated individual’s an we want to bring Mississippi into the future . Bring in money , more jobs , less arrest , help the sick , further our education on cannabis .

    This is a great move for my state! Any way I can help, I will! It’s nonsense that someone in Alaska or Colorado or any of the other legal states can stand behind a counter to sell marijuana and be considered a hard working citizen, but just having it in your pocket in Mississippi gets you labeled as a criminal. It’s time for this “prohibition” to end. Alcohol is a way more dangerous substance, but we can make it legal? Nothing at all against alcohol. I like to take a drink every now and then myself, but it just doesn’t seem right that a medical plant is illegal for some just because of where you live. Wake up America! I will proudly sign my name on this petition! Much respect for those who started this movement!

    Would yall rather people going around and smoke spice and making their lungs bleed and dropping dead from hitting it twice or three times all because they can’t smoke real because they have to take a drug test and spice doesn’t show up because all it is basically household chemicals? Or would you rather the legalization of cannabis happen and not worry about people overdosing and cops worrying more about how much cannabis you have in your vehicle rather than caching the real criminals? Think about it. How many people have ever overdosed on cannabis compared to how many people have overdosed on spice, countless brands of pills, killed people drunk driving, shooting crap up their arm, whatever they can to get high.

      In the other states where it had been legalized for use, private companies still have the right to terminate you based on your use. If you fail the drug test (including marijuana use) then you can be fired. You can be fired for going to work drunk, or with alcohol in your system. Please make sure people know that.

      I am a marijuana smoker but I can’t help but see this argument as a stupid one every time I see people post it “It is a natural herb man it is a plant god gave it here for us” blah blah blah. You know what else is natural that are drugs that I don’t think should be legalized just cause they are natural Cocaine is a leaf, opium is a flower pod, shrooms are just that mushrooms and there is always peyote. Maybe give a little bit better of an excuse like it doesn’t leave you hung over like alcohol or doesn’t tend to lead to domestic violence like alcohol or helps cure seizures in certain cases but when you simply say legalize it because it is just a plant then you aren’t giving a good argument.

      • Mary
        January 9, 2015

        If you don’t like drugs, and you don’t want people to use them, legalize them. Then the people who don’t want to use anymore (addicts) can seek treatment without fear of prosecution, and the people who do use them will do so safely, so people don’t overdose off of cocaine cut with chemicals, etc., etc..

        Also, comparing cannabis to any harder drug is just stupid. It heals about a million ails, and just try to prove it does more damage to anyone than, say, watching too much t.v., or drinking too much coffee. It helps with everything from migraines to cancer, why would you want to restrict it? You aren’t arguing to make Mountain Dew illegal, and how many kids drink gallons of that, much to the detriment of their health.

        People should have a choice, and it shouldn’t result in prison time, especially if they aren’t hurting anyone.

This is why we have things called averages because marijuana was legalized throughout the state taking a single city and suggesting that it is the example to represent the entire population is poor reporting.

    This will bring much peace, revenue, and relief to the people of MS. For something that is simply safer than water – yes, it has NO lethal dose limit, yet our govt says (for now) that it has “no medicinal value”, but the Govt’s own patent labels it as a “neuro-protector”, this should easily show the world how rediculous the lie has been pitched on the public since prohibition began. Other benefits includes Hempcrete (much more durable than average concrete – and could widely improve all buildings both housing and businesses throughout the state), 1 acre of industrial hemp brings in 10x’s the paper of 1 acre of trees. People who suffer from anxiety/panic disorder, cancer, diabetes, ptsd, colitis, post-surgical digestive disorders, wasting syndrome, pain management with ZERO deaths from overdose as you simply cannot overdose from even the most concentrated forms of cannabis.

    It will bring people off their addictions to deadly pain medication by having SAFE access to the SAFEST alternative, this has already shown itself not only in Holland for over 20 years, but in the states that have voiced and voted this truth into existance. No one EVER should be threatened or thrown into a dog cage for ingesting something so safe as Cannabis is. The crime rate has dropped 66% in Denver in just under ONE year because of legalizing freedom, not to mention, the multi-million dollars that the taxation has collected. MS is the most violent state in the U.S. the thugs are out of control, home invasions are out of control, the streets are way overdue for simple paving for public safe driving. Armed robberies are out of control, etc.. all of this would be GREATLY reduced by legalizing Cannabis for personal use,, for medical use, and industrial hemp for many many jobs that Mississippians so desparately need! The jobs keep going overseas, to the Phillippines, to India, and the quality of the businesses that have outsourced thier jobs are suffering tremendously!

    For all people concerned with “we don’t want children having access”, well just look at the multitudes of people leaving states like New Jersey to get their children the SAFEST treatment for all types of epilepsy, autistism related problems, and more that big pharma’s real bad drugs and the side effects are not an option ANYMORE for families who’ve tried it all and SIMPLY KNOW WHAT BEST FOR THEIR CHILDRENS VERY LIVELYHOOD! No govt agency state or federal should ever hold something back, so safe and natural and BENEFICIAL as is Cannabis. The most important thing to remember is this: beit use for recreational, be it use for medical, or be it use for industrial, a human being simply cannot die from this plant, yes a plant that is safer to consume that water! Stop believing the “easter bunny exists”/reefer madness bollock propaganda from the govt, from the churches (God gave us this plant for food, for medicine and all of its uses). No one is demonizing tomatoes, and YES the vines of a tomato plant are deadly poisonous as are parts of the potatoe plant and other “vegetables” we as humans grow and consume. It is the Nancy Reagan (astrological drunk she was) campaign that helped to continue the stereotype against Cannabis.
    Also educate yourself on this fact: the term “marijuana” was a racial term applied to Cannabis wayy back in the 1920s. NOW, having said that,,, would you call your tomato the “N” word?… Would you call your potatoes a derogatory racial hate word?!?! NO, because just like Cannabis is a vegetable with super neuroprotection – as the Federal Govt has the patent listed as saying, so is blueberries, tomatoes, etc!! IT IS SUPERFOOD PEOPLE! Human beings should have been able to use this since prohibition, it was only the very disgusting GREED of Anslinger, Dupont, and many who were jealous of the thousands of uses of this plant, that is was DEMONIZED by corporate and govt goons trying to control markets and the free will of society. WE NO LONGER ACCEPT THE LIES AND HYPOCRISY OF THESE GOONS. We are over-regulated as a nation, and regulations are for robots! Time to legalize freedom, sensibility, the safest choice of medicine that has been giving to us by our Creator since the dawn of time!
    The ancients used it, the Constition is written on it, our Founding Fathers used it, YES SMOKED IT, and used its cousin the hemp plant for rope, for fiber, Bush senior wouldnt have made that successfull landing from his parachuting days in the military without it. IT IS SILLY THAT THIS MOST VALUABLE OF PLANTS ON EARTH HAS BEEN DEMONIZED and people believed their rhetoric, all with zero deaths, curing cancers, regulating diabetes, and tons more, not just “glaucoma and asthma” (which it also is beneficial for!). ALL MAMMALS have an ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM CONSISTING OF THE CB1 AND CB2 RECEPTORS. Why do our doctors nationwide lie to the citizens about this? WHY ARE WE NOT TAUGHT THE ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM IN HEALTH CLASSES AND IN PUBLIC HEALTH INFO?? How many people die from presciption overdose both accidental and abused?? WE as HUMANS will be looking back very soon and laughing at ourselves and our government for believing their propanganda, just as HOLLAND did when they believed that tomatoes were “deadly to consume” back in the 1700s..
    Wake up and rock this VOTE people of Mississippi and the United States, for ALL STATES! There is a reason we have so many health issues, so many types of cancer, so many side effects from the real poison of big pharma’s real dirty drugs, IT IS BECAUSE WE AS A SOCIETY HAVE BEEN ENDOCANNABINOID DEFICIENT SINCE THE 1920s! If a human in America can die in war at age 18, then humans should be able to choose the safest form for relief and recreation that does not cause violence, that choice is Cannabis. Just think how many people have died from drinking and driving,, if those people had chosen Cannabis, they would NOT have gotten behind the wheel, and IF THEY DID, they would have DEFINITELY been a much safer driver as the focus factor of Cannabis is supreme at combating distractions and creates a calmer, peacefull, safer individual altogether. No one is forcing anyone to start “smoking” or “consuming” Cannabis, NO ONE IS FORCING ALCOHOL, CHOCOLATES, CANDY on ANYONE EITHER! So realize this very statement before you make such a rediculous, prohibition-based/brainwashed attempt at comparing to Cannabis. Yes, Safer than Chamomile Tea, great for depression, anxiety, ptsd, … need more? here are just a few compiled links to many studies:

    Cutting edge cancer research:
    http://www.tocris.com/pdfs/pdf_downloads/cancer_guide_us_2012.pdf

    Important Doctors: Dr. Raphael Mechoulam, Dr. Lester Grinspoon, Dr’s Rand and Ron Paul, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, and hundreds more. Read and regain the truth and undo the brainwashing that was done to mankind.

    As for Industrial uses: paper, hempcrete, dashboards, plastics (YES WE DONT NEED FOREIGN OIL TO PROCESS RUBBERMAID/PLASTICS equaling getting out of ALL mid-eastern wars and nations that depend on the U.S. to buy their bloodsoaked/warsoaked OIL!! think about that people, if the Heinz ketchup company is already making ketchup bottles from plant-based plastics, do we need foreign OIL?? NOO! ; 10% more ethanol from Cannabis Hemp than from corn, so no more “we’re running out of corn” excuses; hemp can be woven with every fiber from silk to make women’s clothing, to cotton and polyester blend stitching, bringing back a much needed job sector that again has been sold down the road to China among thousands of other jobs,, oh and wait.. yes currently most of the Hemp for industry is being grown in China!! WE need these JOBS AMERICA, WE NEED THIS PLANT AND ALL ITS USES!! not just Hemp, NOT just “CBD ONLY forms of Cannabis”,, we need the WHOLE PLANT and WHOLE PLANT MEDICINE, ALL VARIATIONS, both Indica, Sativa, and yes Hemp.

    Think America,, everything from your very own laptop casing to your vehicles seat belt and dashboard compartments, and ALL that is made from plastic/composites CAN BE MADE FROM CANNABIS, AND CAN BE MADE IN THE USA AND BRING THIS COUNTRY BACK TO WHAT IT ONCE WAS , A GLOBAL ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE,and so much better for the environment for biodegration/waste.

    Lets not fail to mention that the hempheart (the unsprouted seed inside the shell of the cannabis seed) has been listed as THE MOST NUTRITIOUS thing a person can consume! Check out Manitoba harvest foods to buy your hemphearts and add to your vitamin smoothies and supercharge your diet.

    In conclusion, WE as HUMANS will no longer be lied to by entities who care nothing really for our well being, our real nutritional balance, our choice in a safe matter for both ourselves, our children and our planet. WE as HUMANS know how to regulate OURSELVES and we know they kept this most beneficial of all of God’s plants from us, causing many diseases and cancers to continue thriving, whlie they feed us lies and pump us full of antibiotics that cause digestive failure and resistance to disease!

    WE WILL NOT BELIEVE THE EASTER BUNNY EXIST-LIE THAT IS PROHIBITION ANYMORE, wake up and better your states infrastructure, restore peace, cut in half violent crimes, get people off hard drugs, fund schools, better your anger management, and defeat disease, cancer, eliminate diabetes and improve the quality of life for humans NOW! LEGALIZE FREEDOM AND VOTE TO PERMANTLY TAKE CANNABIS OFF OF THE DRUG SCHEDULING CHARTS, ITS NOT A DRUG, ITS A SUPERFOOD-HERB WITH NO LETHAL DOSE,,( HOW MANY DEATHS FROM ASPRIN?…) all HUMANS WILL BENEFIT FROM CANNABIS AND ITS MANY USES, WHETHER YOU “SMOKE IT” OR NOT, GET IT? ESPECIALLY THE ECONOMY!

    Improve the atmosphere, the soil thru hemp and cannabis on a large scale as it puts back nitrogen and essential minerals into the earth unlike alot of other vegetables grown. Feed, house, and cloth multitudes of humans, and most importantly American Veterans who have been left to die on govt black lists… All these things are already proven.. WE MUST VOTE FOR FREEDOM, WE MUST VOTE TO LEGALIZE COMPLETLY ALL FORMS OF CANNABIS.
    Dont be sorry you read this, there is no apology for helping mankind and stopping the lies of our control mongering/war mongering leaders. Yes We Cannabis, Yes we WIll! Thank you Creator of Heaven and Earth, Thank you Founding Fathers, and Thank you Smart Citizens of the United States and the State of MS. WE NEED TO GET THIS ON THE BALLOT !! SIGN THE INITIATIVE 48 to end prohibition and fully legalize the use, taxation, medical use, and cultivation and sale of both industrial hemp, and cannabis for adults 21 years and older to cultivate, AND GET MISSISSIPPI FROM BEING THE LAST STATE IN EVERTHING, TO A GLOBAL ECONOMIC LEADER, AND MOST IMPORTANT A SAFER PLACE TO LIVE AND THRIVE, along with FREEING ALL CANNABIS RELATED CONVICTIONS THAT IS HOLDING PEOPLE BACK FROM PROSPERING! MS DOES NOT HAVE TO CONTINUE BEING THE WORST STATE IN EVERY CATEGORY ANYMORE,, EVER AGAIN! SIGN THE BALLOT PEOPLE!!!

      If you consider your friends “niggas”, you’ve got bigger problems. How about you just sit on the couch and keep living the worthless “thug life”, while we push legitimate reasons. Stop posting. You make real people look stupid.

    It’s wishful thinking to assume that people in MS will vote for the legalization of marijuana, but people in my county wouldn’t even vote to sell alcohol all through Lamar County ( you can only by alcohol at the annexed areas) so I doubt it will pass. #weStillGotDryCounties

    It won’t work. This is too much to be legalized at once. You can’t go from illegal to legal with no limits if you’re 21. Baby steps.
