JACKSON, Miss. — Many people have questions about the state's Medical Cannabis Program, and the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) is answering them in the October episode of the Health Talk MS podcast. Our host Greg Flynn sits down with Mississippi Medical Cannabis Program (MMCP) Director Marcus Davenport, along with folks from the National Center for Cannabis Research and Education (NCCRE) at the University of Mississippi: Director Robert Welch and Callie Anyan-Draine, Program Manager.
Tune in as we discuss:
- Who is eligible to join the Medical Cannabis Program? Our guests go over the conditions for which medical practitioners in the state can prescribe medical cannabis as an option.
- How to obtain a card for patients and caregivers: Davenport explains the process and cost of joining the program and how long cards are valid.
- The future of Medical Cannabis: It is a growing industry and heavily regulated by MMCP staff, from cultivators to the testing labs to the retailers. The panel also addresses the question of whether medical cannabis is a gateway to recreational use.
