Marijuana; legalize.

SB 2220 would remove marijuana from Mississippi's Schedule I list of controlled substances under state law, changing its legal status. This would directly affect residents by removing criminal penalties for possession under current Schedule I definitions and adjusting related penalties in Section 41-29-139. Key mechanisms include amending multiple code sections (41-29-113, 41-29-139, 41-29-105, etc.) to update marijuana's classification and conform related definitions and penalties. The bill aims to align Mississippi law with federal policy shifts but does not establish a regulated market. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and was not enacted.
