Jackson to Vote on Increasing Medical Cannabis Business Fees

25 February 2025

The Jackson City Council is considering an ordinance that would increase medical cannabis business license fees from $40 to $1,000, bringing local regulations closer to Mississippi’s statewide fee structure. Supporters say the change aligns Jackson with other municipalities, while some businesses may struggle with higher costs. The ordinance is set for a March 18 vote and could significantly impact the local medical cannabis market.
