The House and Senate on Wednesday both passed the final version of the measure, Senate Bill 2095.

The weed with roots in Hell is going to be legal in the Bible belt capital. It makes and old hippie's day. Mississippi recently upped the teacher pay too. What is happening in the state? Are they on dope?
