Overview

Mississippi's dispensary count grew nearly 10% year-over-year to 183 locations, fueling a medical market that has surged 57.5% over the past two years. Even as store expansion continues, year-over-year sales growth has moderated to 6.9%, and average prices dipped about 3% as supply catches up with patient demand. The market remains in the small tier, but the pace of retail buildout suggests room for continued expansion. Southern Sky Brands leads among the top sellers in this vertically integrated landscape, where cultivators and dispensaries often operate under the same license. Mississippi's regulatory framework remains medical-only, with a relatively narrow qualifying-condition list compared to neighboring states like Arkansas and Louisiana. The state legalized medicinal marijuana in early 2022 after voters approved Initiative 65 in 2020 and the legislature passed Senate Bill 2095; licensed retail sales began in early 2023.
