Beverages (0.3% ∆9 or less): On September 9, 2024, the MS State Attorney General issued an opinion that stated that:
1. Mississippi Code Annotated Section 97-31-5 states that it is unlawful, unless otherwise legalized under state law, to sell any drug, elixir, or compound that “when drunk to excess, in the form sold, will produce intoxication.” Accordingly, because there is no state law that specifically legalizes hemp beverages, should a factual determination be made that hemp beverages would produce intoxication if drunk to excess, then the sale of the same would be unlawful.
2. Beverages containing a THC concentration of greater than 0.3% would be classified as marijuana beverages. Such beverages are illegal under state law unless purchased in accordance with the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act
