Getting certified for medical cannabis is the only way to consume cannabis in Mississippi legally.
On 3 November 2020, Mississippi voted to establish a medical marijuana program by approving Initiative 65. 74% of voters in Mississippi supported the move to allow people suffering from one of 22 qualifying medical conditions to be prescribed up to 5 oz of marijuana per month. However, this decision was overturned. The Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act, which changed some aspects of Initiative 65, passed in January 2022 and was signed into law on 2nd February 2022

Recreational cannabis:
Recreational cannabis use is illegal in Mississippi. The Mississippi Marijuana Legalization Amendment will be voted for in 2022.

Those aged 18 and 23 will need two certifications from two doctors working in other practices. Those under 21 cannot enter a dispensary without a parent or guardian.
You must provide ID, proof of Mississippi residency, and medical records to qualify for medical cannabis in Mississippi.
Caregivers must be aged 21 or over and be the primary person responsible for the patient’s care.

01
You have been designated for that purpose by a legal medical marijuana user
02
You are consistently responsible for that person’s housing, health, and/or safety
03
The care you provide is independent of assistance you give the person in taking medical marijuana
04
You began taking care of the person at or before the time you assumed responsibility for assisting with medical marijuana
No medical marijuana card ID system is in place yet in Mississippi.
The regulations state that temporary patients will have to register with the Mississippi Department of Health to purchase medical marijuana at a Mississippi dispensary. This registration is valid for 60 days, and it can be renewed for one 30-day period. The registration application fee is $50.
Reciprocity is one key benefit for medical marijuana users. Unlike recreational cannabis users, medical marijuana users with a medical marijuana card can travel to the states listed above and purchase the medical marijuana they require while they are out of state.
