Can You Buy Cannabis Seeds in Mississippi?

Mississippi voters approved Initiative 65 for medical marijuana in 2020, but it was struck down by the state Supreme Court on a technicality. The legislature subsequently passed Senate Bill 2095 in February 2022, creating a medical cannabis program. The program allows qualifying patients to purchase cannabis from licensed dispensaries, but home cultivation is prohibited.
