Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act
On Wednesday, February 2, 2022 Governor Tate Reeves signed into law Senate Bill 2095, also known as the “Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act (MMCA)” legalizing medical cannabis. The law permits the use of medical cannabis to treat certain debilitating medical conditions. MMCA grants county board of supervisors and municipalities the authority to opt out of allowing the cultivation, processing, sale or distribution of medical cannabis and cannabis products within 90 days of enactment.
We strongly encourage you to meet with your board attorney and further analyze this new law.
Please disregard the deadline date to opt out listed in the MAS magazine. May 31, 2022 is not the deadline date to opt out. If your county wishes to opt out, you must do so within 90 days of the Governor signing the bill, February 2, 2022.
