Mississippi joined 36 other U.S. states in legalizing marijuana for medical use on Wednesday, as the governor signed legislation permitting cannabis for treatment of severe, debilitating health conditions such as cancer, AIDS and Alzheimer’s disease.
The measure also permits cannabis to be prescribed for any “pain state in which the cause of the pain cannot be removed or otherwise treated … and which no relief or cure of the cause of the pain is possible.”
Only a physician can prescribe for young adults between the ages of 18 and 25, and parental consent is also required for minors.
