Neshoba County
Philadelphia to Forest, Fifty Minutes South-West
From Philadelphia and Neshoba, it's a 50-minute drive south-west to The Forest Cannabis Dispensary in Forest, Mississippi — a trip worth planning ahead for, not one to squeeze in like a quick errand.
The drive
Coming in from Neshoba County
Neshoba County's two listed communities, Philadelphia and Neshoba, are both about 50 minutes from The Forest Cannabis Dispensary, traveling south-west into Scott County. Philadelphia, the county seat, covers roughly 35 miles; Neshoba is about a mile farther at 36. Interstate 20 runs east-west through Scott County, with Exit 88 marking the Forest turnoff, and MS-35 carries you north-south into town from there, so the last stretch is straightforward once you're on the interstate. A 50-minute drive each way is worth planning for rather than treating as a quick errand — pencil in the round trip before you go, and plan your visit inside the dispensary's Monday-through-Saturday hours.
Here's how long the drive takes from Neshoba County's two listed communities to The Forest Cannabis Dispensary in Forest, Mississippi.
Before you set off
What to bring
Only registered Mississippi Medical Cannabis Program patients and caregivers, 21 and older, can shop at The Forest Cannabis Dispensary — bring your MMCP card and a valid photo ID. Out-of-state medical cards aren't valid in Mississippi, so Neshoba County visitors need Mississippi registration first. The dispensary accepts cash and debit, and there's an ATM on site if you need it. Plan the round trip before you go, since Philadelphia and Neshoba are both a 50-minute run out.
