SB 2748 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act; revise provisions related to.

SB 2748 standardizes how medical cannabis products are measured by defining one Mississippi Medical Cannabis Equivalency Unit (MMCEU) as one gram of total THC in concentrates or infused products. It allows healthcare providers to issue medical cannabis certifications via telemedicine for homebound or bedbound patients, eliminating the need for in-person visits. The bill also prohibits applicants for medical cannabis licenses from seeking local zoning or permitting approvals until they receive state licensing from the Mississippi Department of Health or Tax Commission. This legislation, now law after governor approval on March 21, 2025, directly affects patients, healthcare providers, and cannabis businesses by clarifying product standards, expanding access, and streamlining licensing.
