One of the main suppliers of electricity in north Mississippi-, the Tennessee Valley Authority, intimated this week that it would refuse to provide power for medical marijuana facilities due to possible conflicts with federal laws.

Northern District Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley released a statement stressing that state law is clear and these facilities should be served:

Please see my attached statement on the serving of electricity to medical marijuana facilities in North MS. Our region of the state shouldn’t be denied participation in this legal, licensed program because of confusion. State law is clear that these facilities should be served. pic.twitter.com/vQdo5Vciqc
