Mississippi has no legal recreational possession, and a first offense of 30 grams or less is punishable by a fine of $100–$250 with no jail and may be enforced by summons — it is a fine-only criminal disposition, not a civil offense. The record is not a criminal record for private or administrative inquiry and expunges 2 years after conviction. Second and third offenses within 2 years carry jail. Registered patients may possess up to 28 Mississippi Medical Cannabis Equivalency Units (MMCEUs) — about 98 grams, or 3.5 ounces, of flower. (Miss. Code 41-29-139(c)(2)(A).)
