No for retail. Hemp-derived delta-9 edibles, beverages, and other consumables sold outside the medical cannabis program are treated as Schedule I controlled substances under Miss. Code Ann. §41-29-113, per AG Opinion No. 2025-00219 (Fitch, June 11, 2025). Mississippi has no statutory consumable-hemp framework: HB 1676 (2024) and HB 1502 (2025) both died in conference.
