73% of voters voted for medical marijuana use in Mississippi. today, our Supreme Court decided to not only throw out the initiative, but the ballot initiative process that allows citizens to even have a direct, active voice on legislative measures. please don’t ask why we leave.

The Mississippi Supreme Court is comprised of 9 justices. Three were elected and the other six were appointed by Republican governors. 2 out of 3 justices elected by the people voted for democracy today. 5 out of 6 justices appointed by Republicans just voted against democracy. pic.twitter.com/mnUcPC0KEw
