Marijuana possession; provide civil penalty for.

HB 30 reclassifies first-time simple possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana or 10 grams or less of synthetic cannabinoids from a criminal offense to a civil offense in Mississippi. This means individuals caught with these small amounts would face civil penalties like fines instead of criminal charges that could lead to jail time or a criminal record. The bill specifically targets these smallest quantities and does not change penalties for larger amounts or other controlled substances. It directly affects first-time offenders in Mississippi for these specific small amounts of marijuana or synthetic cannabinoids.
