It was a 4-1 vote to not opt-out according to Alderman Joe Brooks. If the board decides not to opt-out, then there is no action necessary. The medical marijuana law passed by the Mississippi legislature will go into effect on May 3.

Brooks said the city can benefit from this program economically by bringing a lot of jobs.
