Legislative negotiators and leaders have agreed on a draft of medical marijuana legislation, and are anticipated to ask Gov. Tate Reeves as early as Friday to call the Legislature into special session, sources close to the negotiations said Thursday. Legislative leaders on Thursday released some details of the proposal — which had been kept close to the vest for months — such as that cities and counties will be allowed to “opt out” of having medical marijuana cultivation or dispensaries, although local voters can override this.

Bennie Thompson is absolutely the wrong person to sit at the head of this commission.  Bennie Thompson is one of the most crooked and partisan politicians in Washington.  Not only has he been very open and outspoken about his hatred for President Trump, but also for every one of President Trump’s supporters.  There is, in no way, that Bennie Thompson will be able to develop and maintain a bipartisan commission. The outcome from this socalled investigation will be full of lies and half-truths.
