Current state posture

No enacted change; 2026 bills pending, restrictive posture unchanged.
Litigation and court posture
None material; controlling authority is AG opinion + HB1547, no contested injunction.

Federal cap 11/12. 2026 bills (SB2572/2540 ref 11/12/26 date) not enacted; SB2645 (beverage ban) died 2/3/26.
Federal change scheduled for November 12, 2026
State rules are only one layer. Unless Congress changes the enacted provision, Section 781 changes the federal hemp definition to total THC—Delta-9 THC plus 0.877 times THCA—and adds a 0.4 milligram total-THC-per-container cap beginning November 12, 2026. That federal change is separate from the Mississippi posture above.
