Court agrees with ban on medical marijuana advertising in Mississippi
SUMMARY: Mississippi’s medical marijuana businesses are barred from advertising due to federal law prohibiting marijuana, according to a recent ruling by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Clarence Cocroft II, owner of Tru Source Medical Cannabis, argued for First Amendment protections but the court upheld state restrictions on advertising, citing the federal Controlled Substances Act. Mississippi allows businesses to provide information through websites and social media but not via mass advertising platforms. Cocroft plans to continue challenging the ban, stating it hampers customer outreach and education about the state’s medical marijuana program. The Institute for Justice is considering further legal actions.

Jack Smith files to drop Jan. 6 charges against Donald Trump
SUMMARY: Special counsel Jack Smith has requested to drop all four felony charges against President-elect Donald Trump related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Trump was indicted in August 2023 for conspiracy and obstruction related to the January 6 Capitol attack. The dismissal highlights significant historical parallels to Richard Nixon’s resignation and indicates Trump may begin his second term without these legal challenges. Despite the prosecution’s strength, the Justice Department adheres to a policy against charging a sitting president, and Trump’s spokesman called the dismissal a victory against perceived political weaponization of justice.
