Jackson, MS - Today, House Republicans passed HCR 39, a concurrent resolution to Ballot
Initiative No. 65 regarding the legalization of medicinal marijuana. This “legislative alternative” is designed to confuse voters by placing a similar initiative on November’s ballot to dilute the vote to legalize medical marijuana.
Throughout the last 18 months, more than 220,000 Mississippians have signed Ballot Initiative No. 65 in support of legalizing medical marijuana. Polls have also suggested that the majority of Mississippians support this issue. The sole intention of HRC 39 is to mislead and confuse voters and kill a measure for which the majority of Mississippians are in favor.
