Getting off the plane a week ago in Lagos, Nigeria, I was benevolently assaulted with… Africa.

One measure would extend the validity of medical cannabis cards while another would create the “Right to Try Medical Cannabis Act.”
Two bills related to Mississippi’s medical cannabis program passed in the House of Representatives this week.
One bill extends the timeframe for a patient’s follow-up visit to keep their medical cannabis card valid, while a second bill creates a system where patients suffering from debilitating or terminal conditions not already on the state’s list of approved conditions can petition to try medical cannabis.

In a sure sign that spring is not far behind, the first purple martins of the year have been spotted in Mississippi.
The birds were seen on Jan. 31 in Gautier, Mississippi, by a purple martin enthusiast – one of many throughout the eastern and central United States who track and report on the birds’ annual migration on behalf of the Purple Martin Conservation Association (PMCA). The migration of these unique birds can be reported and tracked through a community science project called the Scout-Arrival Study.
