Separate pieces of legislation to ban intoxicating hemp products in Mississippi have passed both the House and Senate and will now be mulled over in the other chamber.
By the legislative deadline to pass bills out of the chamber they were filed in, the House passed House Bill 1502, which would ban the currently unregulated sale of THC-derivative hemp products such as Delta 8, which is derived from hemp.
Specifically, it would ban hemp products from having any more than 0.3% of any type of THC derived from hemp, ban the sale of synthetic hemp such as Delta 8 THC and also require all hemp products be sold to people who are at least 21 years old. Hemp beverages would be excluded from the ban and actually codified into state law
The bill would also designate the Mississippi State Department of Health to regulate hemp products in Mississippi.
