Lauderdale County
Meridian's 45-Mile Drive to Forest
Meridian and Dunns Falls sit at the far eastern edge of the Forest Cannabis Dispensary's service area, a 50-minute, 45-mile drive west on Interstate 20 to Exit 88 — a planned trip for Lauderdale County, not a quick errand.
The drive
Coming in from Lauderdale County
Lauderdale County anchors the far eastern end of the Forest Cannabis Dispensary service area, and Meridian is the largest town anywhere in that catchment — a fact that makes this stop a planned trip rather than a quick errand. From Meridian, it's 50 minutes and 45 miles west on Interstate 20 to Exit 88, then south on MS-35 into Forest. Dunns Falls, also in Lauderdale County, covers the identical 50 minutes and 45 miles to reach the dispensary. For registered Mississippi Medical Cannabis Program patients and caregivers driving from either town, the route stays on one interstate for nearly the whole trip, with only that short stretch off I-20 once you reach Exit 88. Plan for the round trip when you go.
