The law is listed on NORML's website (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws).
In 1974, the state of Mississippi decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use. I believe the amount is less than 1 ounce but you should check that site to be sure.
The penalty is a fine (no jail) for first offense possession. The exceptions are if you carry the marijuana in your vehicle's passenger compartment. The vehicle may be seized and you will be taken to jail in this case. You must put the marijuana in your trunk to avoid seizure/forfeiture of your vehicle and/or jail.
There might also be rules against possessing marijuana within a certain distance of schools and government buildings. Check the website to be sure. They are very thorough.
Basically if you are on your own private property (in your house), and have less than an ounce in your possession for your own personal use and are caught by police, you will be issued a ticket (fine). You will not be taken to jail unless you have committed other offences or attempt to destroy evidence or interfere with the duties of law enforcement.
