How Much Marijuana can I Buy in Mississippi?

In February 2022, when medical marijuana in Mississippi became legal the limit was set that any patient may purchase up to 3 ounces of medical cannabis per month. While 3 ounces is the legal limit, the maximum amount of “Medical Cannabis Equivalency Units” (MCEUs) that can be legally possessed or purchased is 3.5 grams of flower, up to 100 mg of THC in infused products, and up to one gram of concentrate per person. Only six MCEUs (21 grams, or less than 3/4 ounce) may be purchased by patients each week. Patients are not allowed to buy more than 24 MCEUs in a month (84 grams, which is less than 3 ounces). Patients can only have a total of 28 MCEUs at any given point in time (98 grams, which is less than 3.5 ounces).

THC concentrations in flower cannot go higher than 30%. There is a limit of 60% for tinctures, oils, and concentrates.
