Mississippi Code Title 69. Agriculture, Horticulture, and Animals § 69-25-215

If a hemp grower violates the State Plan, including growing hemp containing a delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration that exceeds three-tenths percent (0.3%) on a dry mass basis or a tolerance range as specified by USDA, with a culpable mental state greater than negligence as determined by the department, the commissioner shall immediately report the violation and the hemp grower to the United States Attorney General, the Mississippi Attorney General and the Mississippi Public Safety Commissioner. Such violations shall also be referred to the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics for investigation. The Bureau of Narcotics may detain, seize and/or destroy the crop and may initiate a criminal case for any violation of this article or the Mississippi Uniform Controlled Substances Law. The Mississippi Attorney General shall, in person or by his or her designee, prosecute all criminal actions related to violations arising under this chapter relating to hemp, on behalf of the State. Violations of the State Plan that involve culpability greater than negligence must be reported to the United States Attorney General and the Mississippi Attorney General. The provisions of Section 69-25-213 shall not apply to nonnegligent violations.
