The short answer
Last reviewed: May 21, 2026
No. Mississippi treats synthetic and chemically converted cannabinoids as Schedule I tetrahydrocannabinols under Miss. Code Ann. §41-29-113, and AG Opinion No. 2025-00219 (June 11, 2025) confirms that consumable hemp products lacking FDA approval are controlled substances unless sold through a licensed medical cannabis dispensary. Retail delta-8, which is almost entirely converted from CBD, has no lawful channel.
