Marijuana; authorize "time served" if less than 3.5 ounces.

Summary

The bill changes Mississippi law so that anyone charged with possessing less than 3.5 ounces of marijuana would be credited with time already served and would not face additional jail time or fines. It applies to all individuals facing that specific possession charge and is intended to reduce harsh penalties for low‑level marijuana offenses. The measure did not alter penalties for larger amounts or other drugs.
