Mississippi's Cannabis Cash Conundrum: Where Should the Extra Money Go?

Mississippi is facing a unique situation with its medical cannabis program. The state has been collecting more money than expected from taxes on medical cannabis sales. This has led to a question: What should be done with the extra cash? The Mississippi Attorney General has weighed in on this issue. They said that the extra money goes into the State General Fund. But what if there's too much money sitting around? The State Treasurer and the head of the Department of Finance and Administration have to figure that out.They need to decide if the money is truly excess and not needed right now. If it is, they have to see if they can invest it according to state laws. If they can't, then what? That's the big question. This situation shows how states are still figuring out the financial side of legal cannabis. It's not just about selling the product. It's also about managing the money that comes from it. Mississippi is trying to do this the right way, but it's not always easy.
