The Mississippi Attorney General clarified on June 11, 2025, that products derived from cannabis and not FDA-approved, are illegal to sell in Mississippi unless purchased in accordance with the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act.

Marijuana and THC are on Mississippi's Schedule I controlled substances list including all parts of the cannabis plant including every compound, mixture, or derivative. This includes synthetic derivatives of THC with similar chemical structure and pharmacological activity.

These dangerous and illegal "Gas Station Weed" products are commonly called names like Delta 8, Delta 9, THC-A, and other "THC-like" words.

This means that products sold anywhere in Mississippi - gas stations, convenience stores, pharmacies, grocery stores - that are derived from the cannabis plant and not FDA-approved are now illegal to sell or possess with the intent to sell.

"Marijuana" and "THC" are on Mississippi's Schedule I controlled substances list.

"Marijuana" is defined as "all parts of the cannabis plant and all species, every compound, derivative, and mixture..."

"THC" is defined as "contained in the cannabis plant, as well as synthetic equivalents, isomers with similar chemical structure and pharmacological activity..."

Other substances on this list include heroin, fentanyl, LSD, and meth.
