Welcome back to The Week in Weed, your Friday look at what's
happening in the world of legalized marijuana.
We take a look at where things stand in Mississippi as regards
medical marijuana. Montana began legal cannabis sales this week.
The governor issued pardons for marijuana offenses in Colorado.
What actions might the new Virginia governor take (or not take) as
the state ramps up its cannabis industry? And finally, who better
to tell you how to roll a joint than David Crosby?
Mississippi
Remember when Mississippi legalized medical marijuana in a 2020
ballot initiative? Many things have happened since then, but actual
legalization isn't one of them. The Supreme Court invalidated
the initiative. Lawmakers came up with a bill to implement the will
of the voters. But in the end, the governor didn't call a
special session of the legislature, despite calls to do so. So
where are we now? A new legislative session may bring legal cannabis, or it may
not.
