Dozens of medical marijuana businesses and nonprofits are popping up around Mississippi even though the stateâs regulatory system wonât be ready for months, and despite the fact that the Mississippi Supreme Court might strike down the voter-approved program.
Companies canât legally grow, process or dispense medical pot until they obtain state licenses, which likely wonât be issued until August. But already more than 90 businesses and nonprofits have registered with the state or reserved a name, according to a recent review of Mississippi Secretary of State records.
Among them: Mississippi Marijuana Doctor, Cannabis Infused Solutions, Cloud 9 Cannabis, Delta Dank and Alien Ganja Farms.
Itâs in the bag.
Nalleyâs Canada Limited and the Hermiston Development Corporation announced Monday that Nalleyâs intends to use Lamb Westonâs Hermiston Plant No. 2 to make potato chips in Hermiston.
Hermiston beat out two other sites, one in Pasco, Wash., and the other in Salem, for the plant.
Nalleyâs chairman Patrick Lindenbach told the stateâs economic development department that the company and Lamb Weston have reached an âagreement in principalâ to lease the facility.
Nalleyâs said they hope to begin operations in June.
2) Dennis Doherty, a Hermiston attorney, wants to be Umatilla Countyâs new commissioner.
