NATCHEZ — The Highest Care, one of the first medical cannabis dispensaries to open in Natchez, has outgrown its Jeff Davis Boulevard location and moved to a new facility at 2 Seargent S. Prentiss Drive.
“We were outgrowing our location on Jeff Davis Boulevard,” said General Manager Christian Wroten. “We have been renting for a year and are getting busier and busier. Our new location is a perfect fit.”
The Highest Care opened its doors at its new location on Monday, April 15, and by Saturday, the store recorded its busiest day ever.

“Saturday was 4/20, which is essentially a national cannabis holiday. On that day we saw 99 patients, our busiest day,” Wroten said.
More and more doctors in Natchez are writing cannabis prescriptions and are inquiring about medical cannabis, which translates to more patients seeking relief for chronic pain
