HB895

Mississippi HB895 extends the validity of medical cannabis certifications and ID cards, removes mandatory follow-up visits, and adjusts possession.

Mississippi HB895 amends the state's medical cannabis regulations by extending the validity period of a practitioner's written certification of diagnosis from six months to twenty-four months. It eliminates the mandatory six-month follow-up visit requirement for patients after receiving the certification, allowing practitioners to request or require a follow-up evaluation if necessary. The bill also extends the validity period of registry identification cards for residents to twenty-four months, for resident designated caregivers to five years, and for nonresidents to ninety days.
