Mississippi health officials ordered more than two-thirds of the medical marijuana products currently on the market be retested for safety, following an anonymous tip that claimed many of the goods were tainted with pesticides.
According to the Magnolia Tribune, the state Department of Health put an administrative hold on about 70% of available medical cannabis goods. All of the products were tested by the same lab, Rapid Analytics. A representative of the lab told the Tribune that the concerns were “baseless,” asserting that its methods are sound.
Regardless, the state decided to take no chances, and issued the hold on Dec. 21, before updating it a week later with more details. The circumstances surrounding the hold are still under investigation, the department said.
All of the products tested by Rapid Analytics are being retested to ensure their safety, according to a press release from the Department of Health, specifically to “validate results related to the use of pesticides and presence of mycotoxins.”
No illnesses by medical marijuana patients have been reported, the agency clarified, and as soon as products are cleared by the retesting process, they’ll be made available for sale again.
“Through the state’s seed-to-sale tracking system, the agency can isolate the batch and lot numbers associated with this administrative hold and expedite the retesting. The tracking system is an invaluable tool to assist with regulatory compliance and overall product safety,” Laura Goodson, director of the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Program, said in a release.
The Tribune reported that 9,814 medical marijuana products – about 20% of the state’s entire inventory – is still available for sale. Those goods were tested by the only other marijuana lab in the state, Steep Hill Mississippi, which itself faced concerns not long ago about supposedly tainted smokable hemp products being sold in gas stations.
The latest incident reinforces the need for more cannabis testing labs in Mississippi to serve the state’s 391-company supply chain, which includes nearly 200 dispensaries and more than 130 cultivation facilities, said Mike Watkins, the executive director of the Mississippi Independent Cannabis Association.
At least two labs still have license applications pending before the state, Watkins said, and there are only 10 dispensaries in the state that have been unaffected by the retesting order and the product hold.
Nebraska voters will decide this Election Day on a pair of citizen-initiated ballot measures regulating medical cannabis access to authorized patients.
State regulators last week affirmed that advocates Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana had gathered the requisite number of signatures to place the measures before voters.
The two measures are complementary. The first permits qualified patients to possess and use cannabis. The second measure regulates the production and distribution of cannabis to those authorized patients. Advocates had to frame the issue as two separate ballot questions in order to not run afoul of the state’s ‘single subject’ rule. In 2020, the state Supreme Court invalidated a similar stand-alone measure for addressing issues that it deemed were “not naturally and necessarily connected to the [initiative’s] primary purpose.” A 2022 effort failed to obtain sufficient signatures to qualify for the ballot.
“States have a proven track record of safely and effectively regulating medical marijuana,” NORML’s Deputy Director Paul Armentano said. “After November, Nebraskans will no longer be forced to choose between their medicine or their freedom.”
Thirty-eight states, the District of Columbia, and several US territories regulate medical cannabis products. Statewide polling indicates that between 70 percent and 80 percent of Nebraskans support legalizing medical marijuana access.
Nebraska is one of at least four states where cannabis-related initiatives will appear on November’s ballot. Voters in Florida, North Dakota, and South Dakota, who also will be deciding on adult-use legalization measures this fall.
In Texas, voters in the cities of Bastrop (population 11,200), Dallas (population: 1.3 million), and Lockhart (population 15,000) will decide on municipal ballot measures prohibiting local law enforcement from making low-level marijuana-related arrests.

A Safe & Legal Option
Many ask, “How can these gummies contain 5mg of THC and be less than 0.3% THC?” 🤔
The answer is found in math. Each gummy weighs 5 grams or 5,000 milligrams. And 0.3% of 5,000 = 15 milligrams. That means this product is under the legal limit.
Therefore, these gummies contain less than 0.3% Δ9-THC by weight of each teaspoon, making them Federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill.
And yes, these gummies are exclusively made with delta-9 THC; we do not sell or support delta-8 THC products at this time.
