Mississippi

In a major victory for Hemp Supporters, Mississippi HB 1676 died in conference. The bill, which had passed the House and Senate, would have set 0.5mg/serving and 2.5mg/package total THC limits for consumable hemp products.

HB 1676 would have set total THC limits for consumable hemp products. A consumable product that contains more than 0.5mg of total THC per serving, or more than 2.5mg of total THC per package or CBD-to-THC ratio that is greater than 20:1 would have been classified as an “intoxicating hemp product.” Such products would only have been able to be sold by a licensed cannabis dispensary. Total THC would have included all forms of THC, including delta-9, delta-8, delta-10, and delta-6. Additionally, the bill would have limited all consumable hemp products, even non-intoxicating CBD products, to persons 21 or older and prohibits the manufacture, production, or sale of any hemp product that contains an artificially derived cannabinoid.
