Abstract
How Medical Cannabis Took Root in Mississippi
(Under the direction of Dr. Iveta Imre)
How Medical Cannabis Took Root in Mississippi is a multimedia journalism piece that follows the timeline of medical cannabis’ legalization in Mississippi through the lives and lenses of characters from each sector of the medical marijuana industry. Written in a journalistic style with hints of narrative methods, the article tells the story of medical cannabis advocates, current patients, state registered practitioners, dispensary owners and employees, and a family-owned cultivation facility while also providing concrete evidence and facts about the legislation and regulations included in the state’s medical marijuana program. While navigating the steps it took to legalize medical cannabis in Mississippi, the piece also sheds light on the current state of the program and some of the issues industry leaders and patients have stumbled upon since its inception, namely high costs.
