We want to thank Gov. Reeves for signing that,” said Melvin Robinson III, communication and media director for MSCTA.Alongside the networking event, companies and businesses were in attendance as well. One emphasizes the economic impact it has.”The tax revenue alone is going to help explode the state of Mississippi, giving them extra money for infrastructure, for housing, for whatever they need,” Tipton said. “I’ve been watching it for a long time, seeing what’s going on, and I’m really excited to get my feet on the ground to keep helping out these labs.” The Mississippi Cannabis Trade Association said they look forward to hosting future events and educating the community on the other facets of the industry.”It doesn’t just have to be just plant touching. There’s so many other ways to make money. To make a good living, and there’s so many different ways that we can help the patrons of Mississippi get their alternative form of health care,” Robinson said.Earlier in February, the state department of health announced their plan to work on licensing for patients, medical leaders, facilities cultivating cannabis, and others by June of this year.
