Harrison County permits medical cannabis dispensaries in designated commercial zones with 1,000-foot buffers from schools, churches, and daycares per MS §41-137-33. Gulfport and Biloxi both opted-in; D'Iberville opted out.
Harrison County allows licensed medical cannabis dispensaries (called 'medical cannabis establishments' in state law) under the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act. MS Code §41-137-33 sets a mandatory 1,000-foot buffer from schools, churches, and licensed childcare facilities measured from property line to property line. Harrison County and Gulfport both opted-in to allow dispensaries; Biloxi opted-in after initial hesitation; the City of D'Iberville exercised its statutory opt-out right. Zoning is generally limited to C-2 (general commercial) and C-3 (heavy commercial) districts. Hours of operation are restricted to 9 AM to 9 PM statewide. All patient sales require valid Mississippi Department of Health medical cannabis card verification. Operators need both MSDH state license and local zoning approval before opening.
Operating without MSDH license: felony, license-holder disqualification. Buffer violation: zoning denial, $5,000-$25,000 fines. Selling to non-cardholder: license revocation + criminal charges. Hours violation: $1,000-$5,000.
