General Regulation

Hemp Derived THC Beverage Status 2018 Farm Bill
Cannabis Regulation Medical
Retail Outside Dispensary System? Yes, as not expressly prohibited by law, but we counsel caution here given multiple state AG opinion letters casting doubt on the legality of products containing any THC.
Hemp Beverages Specifically Regulated? No.
Serving / Potency / Dosage / THC Type Limit

Adopted the Farm Bill threshold of 0.3% THC by dry weight. D8 is prohibited. June 11, 2025 State AG Opinion (non binding but stronly persuasive) seems to indicate products containing THC that aren't approved by the FDA are illegal. At least one county (Jackson County) is enforcing that view.

DTC from Out-of-State Yes, as not expressly prohibited by law, but we counsel caution here given multiple state AG opinion letters casting doubt on the legality of products containing any THC.
Licensing

No license currently to sell. Note that the state has wet/dry counties. We suggest limiting sales to wet counties to the extent you choose to sell into the state at all. See https://www.dor.ms.gov/abc/wetdrymaps.

Additional Notes

The state has opined through the Attorney General twice: once that hemp beverages could be illegal if consuming them in excess would produce intoxication. The second time, most recently, that any product containing THC for ingestion that is not blessed by the US FDA is illegal unless it goes through the medical dispensary system. The second opinion is a strong suggestion, not a binding rule, though enforcement efforts may suggest otherwise.
