MSDH places hold on medical cannabis products
The Mississippi State Department of Health will continue an administrative hold on a large number of medical cannabis products until retesting can be completed.
The administrative hold impacts only a portion of the medical cannabis products available through the state.
The specific circumstances leading to the hold remain under investigation by MSDH, but the retesting is to validate results related to the use of pesticides and presence of mycotoxins.
There are no reports of illnesses related to the impacted products, but MSDH is overseeing the retesting of the medical cannabis products.
Retesting is being conducted in licensed medical cannabis testing facilities with validated testing methods in place and approved by MSDH.
It is being prioritized based on the type and category of medical cannabis products.
As batches of product are cleared, they will be removed from the hold and put back on the market.
The Mississippi State Department of Health issued the initial hold on December 21 of this year.
