Dear John, Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, and Mississippians will be voting to decide if they want to amend the Mississippi Constitution to make smoking marijuana a constitutional right. Marijuana is an illegal drug and its dangers are not fully known. Changing the Mississippi Constitution in any way to allow its use is foolhardy. The top portion of the ballot asks if you are "AGAINST" or "APPROVE" adding smokable marijuana to the Constitution. AFA is urging you to vote "AGAINST BOTH" marijuana initiatives.
On the top part of the ballot, a simple majority of voters (50%) is required to defeat the marijuana amendment. Urge friends and family to vote "AGAINST BOTH."
After voting "AGAINST BOTH" on the top part of the ballot... 
…then go to the bottom part of the ballot to vote FOR 65A. The bottom ballot determines how the state would oversee the sale of marijuana if a majority of voters "approve" of adding marijuana to the Constitution. If approved, your vote For 65A will help defeat 65, which is the marijuana industry's initiative, but also allow legislative oversight. 
Measure 65A is the Mississippi Legislature's amendment. It can help ensure that only true, FDA-approved, pharmaceutical marijuana would only be available with a doctor's prescription and filled at a pharmacy. Except for those who are physician-certified terminally ill, smokable marijuana could still be made illegal by the legislature.
Measure 65 is the marijuana industry's amendment. Measure 65 does not allow the legislature to provide any oversight on marijuana. 65 does not require a doctor's prescription, and the drug would not be distributed in pharmacies. Instead, marijuana would be sold in an unlimited number of marijuana shops across Mississippi. Marijuana cardholders can purchase 2.5 ounces of smokable marijuana every 14 days or about 10 joints per day.
