Mississippi seems to be on the fence about decriminalizing personal amounts of marijuana however, it is currently a crime to possess, cultivate and distribute marijuana. For example:
Possession
A first offense for possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana is punishable by a $100-$250 fine only (no jail time but a criminal charge may go on the offenders record). A subsequent conviction can result in 50 to 60 days imprisonment and a fine of up to $350. A third conviction will further result in 5 to 60 days imprisonment as well as a maximum fine of $500.
Possession of 30 grams (second offense) or up between 30-250 grams is a felony, punishable by 3 years in prison and a $3,000 fine.
Possession of 250-500 grams is a felony, punishable by 2-8 years in prison and a $50,000 fine.
Possession of 500 grams to 5 kg is a felony, punishable by 6-24 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.
Possession of 5 kg or more is a felony, punishable by 10-30 years in prison and a $1,000,000 fine.
Possession of 30 grams or less in a motor vehicle (except the trunk) is a misdemeanor, punishable by 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Cultivation/Distribution
Regarding the sale of marijuana, or "intent to sell" less than 1 oz. is a felony punishable by up to 3 years imprisonment and a maximum fine of $3,000.
The sale of more than 10 lbs. of marijuana is punishable by a maximum sentence of life imprisonment without the chance of parole.
Selling to a minor within 1,500 feet of a school, church, or other designated area is a felony that carries a doubling of the incarceration period and fine.
The State of Mississippi also has a drugged driving law in place, as do many other U.S. states. In their strictest form, these laws forbid drivers from operating a vehicle with any illicit drug or drug metabolite present in their bodily fluids (above a specific threshold).
