Bill > HB895

This bill makes several changes to Mississippi's Medical Cannabis Act, primarily focused on extending the validity of certifications and identification cards and removing certain product restrictions. Specifically, it extends the period for which a practitioner's written certification for medical cannabis is valid from twelve months to up to twenty-four months, and it eliminates the mandatory six-month follow-up visit with a practitioner, though practitioners can still request or require follow-up evaluations at their discretion. The bill also extends the validity of registry identification cards for qualifying patients from one year to twenty-four months, while registry identification cards for designated caregivers will be valid for five years. Additionally, it removes the previous THC potency limits for cannabis tinctures, oils, and concentrates, allowing for higher concentrations of THC in these products.
