Mississippi Retail Marijuana Act; create to authorize and regulate the personal use of marijuana.

HB 1267, the Mississippi Retail Marijuana Act, would have authorized the personal use of marijuana for adults aged 21 and older and established a regulatory framework managed by the State Department of Health. The bill required state licensing for marijuana businesses (including retail stores, cultivation facilities, and manufacturers), mandated a seed-to-sale tracking system for all products, and prohibited public consumption, sales to minors, and driving under the influence. It created a "Marijuana Cash Fund" to hold revenue from licensing fees and fines, while also setting requirements for vendor training and age verification. The bill aimed to regulate marijuana similarly to alcohol, focusing on consumer safety and tax revenue.
