Cannabis: Mississippi

State of Play:

The Mississippi State Department of Health is preparing to develop and adopt a regulatory framework for sale of medical cannabis by Aug. 15, 2021.

What agencies regulate cannabis in Mississippi?

While in the week following voter approval of a medical marijuana ballot initiative no regulatory scheme was in place, the measure assigns authority to the Mississippi State Department of Health.

By when do regulations have to be in place for the sale of medical cannabis in Mississippi?

Initiative 65, approved by voters Nov. 3, 2020, requires the State Department of Health to have all regulations in place by July 31, 2021, with a target date of Aug. 15, 2021 for implementation.
