Gov. Tate Reeves (R) signed SB2095, legalizing medical marijuana, into law in early February 2022. Mississippi is the 37th to enact the policy change in the country. Under the new law, dispensaries are set be licensed in about six months, meaning Mississippi’s medical cannabis program could be up and running, at least in limited form, by the end of the year if all goes smoothly.

There is no notable activity at this time.

Although Mississippi voted for the more expansive medical cannabis regulation, it’s still good ole’ conservative Mississippi. Wait for the lawmakers to agree on the regulatory framework for the medical program and start to roll it out with licensing and signing up patients.
