Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act; revise provisions relating to.
HB 611 revised key definitions and procedures under Mississippi's medical cannabis law. It defined one "Mississippi Medical Cannabis Equivalency Unit" as one gram of THC in concentrates or infused products, standardized dosing for patients. The bill also allowed healthcare providers to issue medical cannabis certifications via telemedicine for homebound or bedbound patients and required applicants for cannabis business licenses to wait until after receiving state approval before seeking local zoning permits. These changes aimed to clarify product standards, expand patient access, and streamline business licensing. The bill died in committee on March 4, 2025, and did not become law.
