Mississippi Home Cannabis Cultivation Prohibited Statewide

Under the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act (Miss. Code Sections 41-137-1 et seq.) and the Uniform Controlled Substances Law (Miss. Code 41-29-139), cultivation of cannabis is prohibited except by licensed cultivation facilities regulated by the Mississippi Department of Health and Department of Revenue. Registered medical cannabis cardholders may possess and use medical cannabis products purchased from licensed dispensaries but may not grow plants at home. Recreational cultivation remains a felony with possible imprisonment of up to 30 years for larger amounts. The state framework preempts any contrary local rule, and no Mississippi municipality may authorize personal cultivation.

Unlicensed cultivation is a felony under Miss. Code 41-29-139, with penalties scaling by plant count and weight, including up to 30 years imprisonment and $1,000,000 fines.
