HB1430

Summary

A Mississippi bill that would have authorized a civil rather than criminal penalty for possession of less than 3.5 ounces of marijuana died in committee. The bill's failure preserves existing criminal penalties for small-quantity possession, which can deter consumer activity and limit the potential patient and customer base for cannabis businesses.
