Following the Agricultural Act of 2018 ("2018 Farm Bill"), which legalized CBD and hemp production nationally by removing hemp and its derivatives (Cannabis sativa-L containing no more than 0.3% THC) from the Controlled Substances Act, Mississippi chose to legalize the production and sale of certain hemp-derived THC and CBD products.

On June 29, 2020, Governor Tate Reeves signed the Senate Bill 2725, also known as the Mississippi Hemp Cultivation Act, into law. The bill brought Mississippi's hemp program in line with federal law as part of the 2018 Farm Bill. It also legalized the cultivation of hemp under a state plan to be created and implemented by the Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce. Although the act allowed for a state hemp cultivation program, the necessary funding to implement the program was not appropriated by the Mississippi Legislature.

As a result, currently the only legal option for a producer to cultivate hemp in Mississippi now is to obtain a hemp license from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) under the USDA Domestic Hemp Production Program.  

Medical Marijuana in Mississippi

The term “medical marijuana” refers to using the whole unprocessed marijuana plant or its basic extracts to treat a disease or symptom. Studies show that the marijuana plant contains chemicals that may help treat a range of illnesses or symptoms, and can assist patients suffering from serious medical conditions by alleviating pain and improving their quality of life.

While some states have already legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes, the issue is still being hotly debated in many others. As of 2019, a total of 41 states in the US have successfully legislated medical marijuana programs, with 19 states adopting recreational cannabis programs, and 23 states decriminalizing cannabis entirely.

Mississippi allows the sale of low-THC cannabis for medical use by qualifying patients. In 2014, Governor Phil Bryant approved Harper Grace's Law, also known as HB 1232, to allow cannabis for medical use.

Under the Harper Grace's Law, patients with severe epilepsy can use low-THC cannabis as a treatment for their medical condition. This law, although restrictive, provides a defense to such medical patients and their parents or guardians to possess and use CBD oil or resin containing at least 15% CBD. If in liquid form, HB 1231 permits medical patients to use at least 50 milligrams of CBD per milliliter with not more than 0.5% THC.

Governor Reeves signed legislation legalizing medical cannabis on Feb. 2.2022 known as the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act. The law permits the use of medical cannabis to treat certain debilitating medical conditions.

Medical cannabis products include cannabis flower, cannabis extracts, edible cannabis products, beverages, topical products, ointments, oils, tinctures and suppositories.

To qualify for marijuana medical card in Mississippi you'll need to be 18 years of age or older and be a state resident.

According to Mississippi state regulations:

• Patient possession limits: Qualified patients may purchase up to 3.5 grams of cannabis flower or up to one gram of cannabis concentrate per day from licensed dispensaries. Patients will be limited to purchasing no more than three ounces of cannabis flower per month. Flowers will be capped at 30 percent THC while concentrated products will be capped at 60 percent THC.

Recreational marijuana is illegal in Mississippi.
