Overview
Marijuana is legal for medical patients in Mississippi, but recreational use remains illegal. In April 2026, Governor Tate Reeves vetoed two medical cannabis expansion bills — HB895 (streamlining certifications) and HB1152 ("Right to Try" for terminally ill patients) — citing overbroad eligibility language. The legislature has referred both vetoes to committee; an override vote has not been scheduled. Mississippi voters originally passed a medical cannabis initiative in 2020, but the state Supreme Court struck it down. The legislature subsequently passed SB 2095 in 2022, establishing the current medical cannabis program.
