Short answer

No. Mississippi's Attorney General concluded in June 2025 that selling non-FDA-approved hemp products meant to be eaten or drunk is illegal under the state's controlled-substances law, except through licensed medical cannabis dispensaries.[1][3][5]

Mississippi's Attorney General concluded on June 11, 2025 that selling a non-FDA-approved hemp product designed for human ingestion is prohibited under the Uniform Controlled Substances Law, except through a licensed medical cannabis dispensary. The statute's hemp exemption points to the Mississippi Hemp Cultivation Act, which was never funded or implemented, and the 2026 bills that would have regulated or banned hemp beverages died in committee.[1][3][5]

Delta-9 THC drinks in Mississippi: what’s allowed

  • Limit per serving: n/a — no lawful hemp THC beverage category (AG Op. to Yancey, June 11, 2025).
  • Limit per container or package: n/a — no lawful hemp THC beverage category.
  • Delta-8, THCA and other cannabinoids: The Schedule I THC listing (Miss. Code §41-29-113(d)(31)) covers natural and synthetic tetrahydrocannabinols and isomers, so delta-8 and similar products fall under the same AG analysis; only FDA-approved hemp ingestibles and hemp 'as regulated under' the unimplemented §§69-25-201 to -221 are exempt.

Age and purchase rules in Mississippi

  • Minimum age: n/a — not a lawful retail product. No hemp-specific age statute found.
  • Where it can be sold: Per the AG, only a licensed medical cannabis dispensary acting under the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act (Miss. Code §41-137-1 et seq.); no general retail channel.[1]
  • Seller licenses: No hemp-product seller license exists; MDAC does not issue hemp licenses (growers use USDA licenses). Medical cannabis dispensary licensing is the only lawful channel per the AG.[1]
  • Online sales, shipping and delivery: No lawful path for an out-of-state online seller: per the AG, selling or possessing with intent to sell ingestible non-FDA-approved hemp products is prohibited under Miss. Code §41-29-139(a).

How the federal hemp rule affects Mississippi

Federal law is a separate layer on top of Mississippi law. A federal law signed November 12, 2025 rewrites the federal definition of hemp so that finished products may contain no more than 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container. A second law signed September 2, 2026 delays most of that change until December 11, 2026; until then it applies only to products made with cannabinoids the cannabis plant can’t produce naturally.

Pending bills and local rules in Mississippi

  • Federal: new hemp definition (0.4 mg total THC per container cap) effective Dec 11, 2026 under P.L. 119-37 as delayed by P.L. 119-103 (CRS summary)[8]
  • Local rules: Several county sheriffs reportedly ordered stores to remove hemp THC products after the AG opinion. No official local ordinances reviewed.
