Mississippi became the 37th U.S. state, on Wednesday, to legalize marijuana for medical use. The Governor of Mississippi, Tate Reeves signed the legislation permitting cannabis for treatment of severe, debilitating health conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, cancer, and AIDS.
According to the governor, the final version of the bill was designed to curb recreational marijuana use, and patients can obtain no more than 3 ounces of cannabis per month, or 3.5 grams a day. The new law becomes effective immediately.
