Weed War Returns to Legislature

 Well, well, well.  It appears a medical marijuana bill did drop after all.  Senator Joey Fillingame (R-Red Rocks)  submitted SB #2767.  The Street Committee said after November legislators were working behind the scenes to come up with a "good" medical marijuana bill.   Is this it? The 88-page bill is posted below.  Yours truly will be tied up this afternoon so feel free to dig through it and post your observations in the comments.   Enjoy.

I hope I'm reading it wrong, but it appears on lines 842-844 that any company that wants to be a dispensary has to have at least 1 Black owner and 1 other minority owner. WTF? Wokeness in a medical bill?

I get my medicine from a licensed FDA pharmacy where my pharmacist has a graduate degree. I’m funny like that.

Look i just want to be able to come home from a hard day at work and twist up a spliff and play some video games. Why is it that drunks can sit in a bar chainsmoking and guzzling booze while I cant smoke a bowl or two in my glass bong?

Everybody knows you drive better after guzzling booze in a bar. You couldn't find your refrigerator after two bowls in your glass bong. Plus you'd pee in the front yard and deny it when the cops arrived.

I pee in my front yard all the time & I don't smoke it. Why would you have to deny it?

If the legs want to do anything with weed flat out legalization at a higher tax rate, 10-12% no paperwork required and they will get a revenue boost and effectively cut the legs out of medical marijuana at 7%.

There’s been bills in the Legislature to both legalize and allow Mississippi growers to grow marijuana but to only sell to out of state buyers. HB18 allows the growing and SB2164 would legalize marijuana. I’m sure all three will die in the usual committee. The will of Mississippi voters be dammed. The political class thinks the voters won’t punish them for their insolence. They are dead wrong as close to a million people voted for prop 65. It looks as though the Mississippi Supreme Court will drag its feet as long as possible allowing everyone who has an axe to grind file an amicus brief both for and against. That way they’re not required to do their job quickly. Somewhere between March or May I expect them to rule against the voters. It will be up to Mississippi to decide when they’ve had enough of government controlling every aspect of their lives or not....... I say NOT!!!

Redneck legislators don’t “trump” the constitution. If the supremes don’t over turn the initiative, this is just meaningless coddling to pharma donors. A hick can’t supersede the constitution. Only a Supreme Court Judge can do that. Stay tuned. .

Can’t believe we are at a point where people actually think weed has any medical benefits. What a bunch of f-ing losers.

Lazy, fat, video-playing pothead nerds. Yeah that’s not what we need in society. Goddamn losers.

Never Fear. The 'Blonde' duo up in Madison/Ridgeland are on it. The wine and vodka set will prevail.

I smoke weed all the time and never played a video game in my life.
Do you talk to your wine, cheese, beer and vodka loving friends like that because many of them drink for their own "medicinal" purposes. At least the chemicals in weed have a proven medicinal purpose unlike your Old Forester.

Joe Rogan smokes weed and Kingfish idolizes the dude. Same for Bill Maher.

I can tell you have never tried VR. Ask one of your grandchildren who are below the age of 30 to try out the Oculus or HP Reverb. The real world will lose all appeal.

10:23pm doesn't realize that he comes into contact with many smokers every day in all walks of life. I know doctors, painters (classic), lawyers, bankers, brokers, contractors, medical salesmen, handy men types, teachers and nurses that all smoke. That's just in my direct circle of friends. Several of them rarely if ever drink. Sounds like 10:23pm may be the one who needs to get off the couch.

Who in Mississippi has 10 million cash laying around to start a facility. Why not 10 billion or trillion what a moron this person is. How did this idiot even get elected to anything. What does LSD have to do with marijuana why is that in there. This guy went to California for school remember that. CBD is federally legal. This makes CBD regulated the same as marijuana. So if this passes you can go to jail for something that is legal on a federal level. This bill nullifies what we voted for in initiative 65, it is a slap in the face for us trying to vote for something. How dare we go around the political elite. Now we see what the mayor and other politicians real agenda is. They want to control this so only they profit from it. They cannot stand that a normal person may open a MMTC and make money. What a clown show. Vote these elite out, maybe the next ballot initiative should be to able to recall any politician that is clearly corrupt and not for the people of Mississippi. If initiative 65 stands as is it will be economic boom for our state. Remember these are the same politicians have the nerve to ask why there is brain drain. Its because stupid nonsense like this, that is why there is brain drain. Vote out everyone out who opposes 65 as written. It was the will of the people regardless of what you think about marijuana. And if you can not respect the will of the people, you should not represent the people. Simple as.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
