Harrison County prohibits all home cannabis cultivation. Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act (MS Code §41-137) allows only licensed dispensary purchases, not personal grows. Recreational cultivation is a felony under MS §41-29-139.
Home cultivation of cannabis is illegal in Harrison County. Mississippi's Medical Cannabis Act (2022, MS Code §41-137-1 et seq.) established a dispensary-only model and does NOT permit qualified patients to grow their own plants. This makes Mississippi one of the most restrictive medical cannabis states. Any cultivation, regardless of plant count or medical card status, violates MS Code §41-29-139 and is prosecuted as a felony for amounts over 30 grams of processed cannabis or any number of living plants. Harrison County Sheriff's Office and Gulfport and Biloxi police actively enforce. Penalties scale with quantity: 1-9 plants can result in 3-year prison terms; larger grows trigger trafficking charges with mandatory minimums.
1-9 plants: felony, up to 3 years prison + $3,000 fine. 10-29 plants: 2-10 years + $50,000 fine. 30+ plants: trafficking, 10-30 years + $1 million fine. Card holders growing: no defense under state law.
