Like many other municipalities in the state, city leaders are weighing in on prohibiting the sale of synthetic marijuana within the city.
The substance, marketed as “Spice” or “K2” has been recently gaining attention as lawmakers debate on a statewide ban.
Chief Eric Snow appeared before city leaders during the Board of Mayor and Aldermen open meeting Monday afternoon to discuss the latest craze.
“We have two stores that have it,” Snow said. “Is there any way to ban this?”
Spice is a mixture of chemicals and herbs that mimics the effects of marijuana. In many states, it is legal to sell in businesses. Most packages are sold as incense and labeled “not for human consumption,” but it is regularly abused.
“You can legally sell it, but it is being used has a drug,” Snow said.

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
