What to bring
Bring your Mississippi Medical Cannabis Program patient or caregiver card and a valid photo ID — only registered MMCP patients and caregivers 21 and up can be served, and out-of-state medical cards don't work here. It's cash, debit or the on-site ATM, so plan for that either way. At 25 to 45 minutes each way from Rankin County, it's an easy there-and-back trip, and first-time visitors get 30% off.
