Bill > HB895

This bill makes several changes to Mississippi's medical cannabis program, primarily by removing the mandatory six-month follow-up visit requirement for patients with their certifying practitioner, allowing practitioners to instead decide if and when a follow-up evaluation is needed to assess the effectiveness of the medical cannabis treatment. It also extends the validity period for registry identification cards for resident designated caregivers, who assist qualifying patients, from one year to two years, and removes potency limits for cannabis tinctures, oils, and concentrates, meaning these products can now have a higher concentration of THC (the psychoactive compound in cannabis). These changes aim to streamline the medical cannabis process for patients and caregivers and offer more flexibility in product offerings.
