Mississippi is the hottest state in the South when it comes to the growing cannabis industry. Our team attended Cannacon Biloxi and is here to provide the latest updates on the bourgeoning medical cannabis industry in Mississippi.
1. Mississippi legalized medical marijuana in 2022.
As of December 31, 2022 there were 1700 MMJ cardholders. As of February 25, 2023 there are 2670, so the numbers are steadily growing despite media misinformation about MMJ card issuance precluding a user from firearm purchase.
2. There are 2.2M people over the age of 18 in Mississippi, and more than 12% of the state has a disability.
Between Arkansas, Louisiana, and Florida there are nearly 700,000 patients who would qualify for medical marijuana in Mississippi, even with a paltry list of 22 qualifying conditions – 100x the number of current cardholders.
3. Pervasive myths about MMJ card possession and firearm ownership have been barriers to MMJ card adoption.
New laws currently in the Senate include specific protections that would remove any ability for lawmakers to seize guns or limit gun purchases for MMJ cardholders.
SECTION 8. Discrimination prohibited. (1) A person shall not be denied custody of or visitation rights or parenting time with a minor solely for the person’s status as a cardholder.
(2) No school, landlord or employer may be penalized or denied any benefit under state law for enrolling, leasing to or employing a cardholder.
(3) A registered qualifying patient or registered designated caregiver shall not be denied the right to own, purchase or possess a firearm, firearm accessory or ammunition based solely on his or her status as a registered qualifying patient or registered designated caregiver. No state or local agency, municipal or county governing authority shall restrict, revoke, suspend or otherwise infringe upon the right of a person to own, purchase or possess a firearm, firearm accessory or ammunition or any related firearms license or certification based solely on his or her status as a registered qualifying patient or registered designated caregiver.
4. Currently 290 active business licenses for cannabis cultivators, processors, or retailers. And 1281 work permits.
161 practitioners meet the requirements to recommend cannabis (it cannot be prescribed), though most do not promote that they meet these requirements.
However, there are several major impediments to MMJ card adoption in Mississippi.
18-24 year olds have to pay double to get an MMJ card
MMJ card system requires a drug test for sign up. Despite that drug test not being logged anywhere, or impacting the eligibility of the individual for the MMJ card, this creates suspicion that deters users from signing up for the program.
5. Mississippi is open for business.
The residency requirements for dispensary or cultivator licenses were eliminated on December 31, 2022 – this means that MSOs can now enter the market with no local partners.
6. Mississippi has low limits for weekly purchase -only 3.5 grams (1 MMCEU) can be purchased per cardholder – well below limits in other states.
There has been major confusion around whether this was a weekly limit, or a rolling 7-day limit. New laws will clarify that this is a rolling 7-day purchase limit, which means dispensaries will need a way to track purchases per customer, per visit, against a weekly maximum.
7. DHS and DOR reserve the right to shut off dispensary, cultivator, and user licenses at any time if they determine that the market is saturated.
8. Hemp products are 100% legal in Mississippi – regardless of THC concentration.
They can even be purchased by minors. Mississippi is one of the few states that does not regulate Hemp production or purchase in any way and is one of the only states with no regulations around hemp. For example: there is no regulation around usage of the marijuana leaf imagery if tied to a hemp product. You can purchase hemp products, even those that meet the definitions of “mind altering”, at grocery stories and gas stations.
9. Mississippi was the only state to lose population during the first 6 months of the pandemic, despite having the lowest cost of living in the country.
The brain drain is most pronounced amongst millennials and college graduates. They typically leave to Texas, Georgia, and Virginia.
10. All program profits from cannabis taxes go to the General Fund of the Legislature, and thusly can be used for any program within Mississippi.
Conclusion
Mississippi is being seen as the model for rollout of MMJ programs, and economic development in the cannabis space in the South and in deeply conservative states which historically have been the most anti-cannabis. Grassroots community advocacy, legislator outreach, and trade organizations are being used as key initiatives for coalition building as the state’s cannabis industry leaders look to speed ahead of other states who have yet to launch even medical cannabis programs. While this is only the beginning of the Cannabis industry in Mississippi and the gulf south, we will be following along every step of the way and offering solutions to ensure state businesses can easily remain compliant.

Protecting children is always a key topic at the forefront of the American media cycle, especially in our current political climate. Legislators across the country have been enacting new laws and rules aimed at protecting minors from a range of influences, which is where digital age verification comes into play.
Many of these new laws include identity verification components that require ID scanning for purchase of tobacco, alcohol, or cannabis. The newest trend is: age restrictions to access online pornographic websites. As a Louisiana-based company, we have had a birds eye view to the nation’s first law requiring digital age verification for internet browsing.
Louisiana Act No. 440, prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from accessing “adult” websites. The law went into effect on January 1, 2023. The law states that “reasonable age verification methods” must be taken to ensure a person seeking access to pornographic material is 18 or older. This means requiring the person attempting to access pornographic material to either provide a digitized identification card, or to comply with a commercial age verification system – more about what that means later…
Act 440 states that pornography is a public health crisis for young viewers due to the hyper-sexualization of teens that may lead to low self-esteem and body image issues. The act also states that entrance into these sites leads to increased problematic sexual activity at younger ages and an increased desire to engage in risky sexual behavior.
“This bill is about protecting our children, not limiting adults.”
Louisiana Rep. Laurie Schlegel, Twitter
The law now requires websites with at least 33.3% pornographic material to implement age verification measures for those located in Louisiana. Traffic to adult websites is, by some estimates, nearly 30% of total web traffic. So this regulation is broad-sweeping and likely to impact a large majority of adult internet users in the state.
What is the current process for identity verification to access adult websites in Louisiana?
Visit www.pornhub.com in Louisiana and here’s what you’ll see. A CTA inside the PornHub website kicks you out to an external page for a site called AllPassTrust.
The AllpassTrust website asks you to create an account or login and take part in digital age verification. For those living in Louisiana, this can be linked to your LA Wallet to confirm identity and age. Upon verification by whichever method you choose, you should then be able to access your desired website.
So who is AllpassTrust?
Little is known about the company other than they are registered in the country of Cyprus and have made a business based on providing access to age restricted websites. They are owned and operated by MG FREESITES LTD, also registered in Cyprus.
The privacy policy on MGfreesites website states that they may collect several types of information from and about users of their applications including name, email address, billing information, passwords, or other online contact information. Obviously, by virtue of age verification they are also gaining access to crucial PII contained in a driver’s license. MGfreesites LTD also notes that they can collect the information by you directly providing it to them, when the app is downloaded (whether consensual or not), and even from third party companies or other applications controlled by MGfreesites or their affiliates.
Who are they and what are they doing with our information? Do Louisiana citizens want their personal information exposed to a company in Cyprus, not subject to US data protection or privacy laws?
Edit: We have received confirmation that AllPassTrust is owned by MindGeek, which Financial Times recently accused of being the true owners of multiple porn sites like PornHub, Brazzers, RedTube, and YouPorn based on public financial records.
If this is true, that would mean the very people that are verifying the ages of consumers to ensure they are over 18, are the same people providing the content in the first place. So you’re giving all of your personal information to the porn sites to verify you are in fact 18, but can this even be trusted? Why would they want to ensure accuracy of age when they stand to make a profit off of users being on their website? And do we want businesses that are in the business of hosting and sponsoring adult content holding sensitive PII of its users?
How Minors Are Circumventing Digital Age Verification
As with most things, children and teens will quickly find workarounds.
Use of Borrowed or Fake IDs
One such method to circumvent these new porn restriction laws would be to borrow the ID of someone who is 18 or older and use it to enter your desired site.
Use of VPNs
Tech savvy minors can also just use a different VPN (Virtual Private Network) which allows people to have a private, encrypted connection online. The VPN would make the user appear as if they are accessing the website from a location other than Louisiana.
Accessing adult content via the dark web
While mainstream sites like PornHub and RedTube have the funds and compliance-mindset to comply with laws such as Louisiana 440, smaller, more niche sites, especially those accessed via Tor, may not. This creates a digital landscape in which minors may be motivated to seek out sites that do not require digital age verification. This may lead them to view more subversive, damaging, or even potentially illegal material. Or access sites that contain malware and viruses.
Legislators must consider that children and teens are digital natives and will find ways to work around these restrictions.
What Exactly Does “Digital Age Verification” Entail?
Louisiana Law 404 states that adult websites must perform “reasonable age verification”, but what does “reasonable age verification” actually entail? We’ve all visited an eCommerce store selling liquor or cigarettes and clicked the “yes, I’m over 18 button.” So how far do these new laws require that websites go to verify age? Do local legislators truly understand the steps required to verify age with a high degree of confidence? Or is their definition of age verification meant just as political theatre.
Digital Identity Verification Overview
The first step to any digital identity verification process is to scan and parse the ID presented – either a 2D barcode or machine readable zone (MRZ), as both of these symbologies contain the date-of-birth, which will be required to determine if a user is 18+.
If the user is presenting a driver’s license or ID card, you will also want to capture the front of that document to ensure the information in the barcode matches the text on the front of the ID.
The ID verification process can be embedded inside the onboarding workflow for the adult website, or accomplished via SMS , which would send an identity verification request to the user’s phone – a lower tech lift for smaller porn sites.
Once the document is verified, the app then prompts the user to do a facial matching process to ensure that the person scanning the ID is the same person trying to enter the website. The app creates a 3D mesh model that combines anti-spoofing and liveness checks to ensure accuracy and validity. Once these quick and easy steps are completed, the user could then be allowed onto the adult website.
But both of these steps are needed to perform true age verification and reduce easy workarounds. This brings up several PII concerns as both ID information, and facial mapping, are required to perform “reasonable age verification” in any instance.
PII and Data Retention Concerns
While ID Scanning and Face Matching are the most accurate and effective methods of preventing minors from accessing porn websites, it will likely raise concerns regarding data privacy and protection. Luckily, our Digital Identity Verification solution is easily customizable to set limits on the type of data that can be stored and for how long. It would be up to lawmakers to set restrictions as to what data can be collected and how long it can be stored, which is already in place in Louisiana, but the technology to protect personal information is already in place from a technological standpoint.
Other States Looking to add Solutions – Utah, Arkansas
Although Louisiana was the first state to pass legislation enforcing age restrictions to enter porn sites, two other states already have legislation in the works; Utah and Arkansas.
Utah
Utah’s newest proposed bills are H.B. 311, proposed by Rep. Jordan D. Teuscher and S.B. 152, proposed by Senator Michael K. McKell. These bills regulate and enact provisions to various computer platforms and social media sites. Both bills would limit internet access for minors using age verification methods.
Utah already has a law on the books – signed by the governor in 2021 – that would require cell phones and mobile devices sold in the state to come with porn pre-blocked. So the traditionally conservative state has already pushed forth measures to auto-restrict access. However, the bill only goes into effect if 5 other states pass similar measures. The feasibility of auto-blocking all adult-content at the device level is murky.
Arkansas
Arkansas is even further in the process of content restriction for minors. Senate Bill 66 was passed by the Arkansas senate on January 31, 2023. This bill would also require commercial entities displaying pornographic material to use “reasonable age verification methods” which are the same methods as those listed in Louisiana. Also similar to the Louisiana legislature, the bill claims that pornography is “creating a public health crisis and contributing to the hyper’sexualization of minors.” The language is so similar, we suspect the same lobbying groups may be involved in passage of the bill.
Sen. Tyler Dees (one of the bill’s sponsors) said the bill was needed to protect children, stating:
“When I look at my children – – I’m a father of three young kids – – and I see technology advancing, and the way I describe it as a weapon. It’s a sword, and it can be used for good or it can be used to cut off your own arm.”
Utah Senator Mike Lee also introduced the SCREEN Act (Shielding Children’s Retinas from Egregious Exposure) back on December 13th, 2022. This would direct the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to issue a rule requiring all commercial pornographic websites to adopt age verification technology to ensure nobody under the age of 18 can access pornographic material.

The FTC Safeguard Act is an extension of the Graham Leach Bliley Act, which is meant to protect consumer privacy. Car dealerships which provide financing or leasing of vehicles will be subject to provisions Safeguard Act on June 9, 2023, and defined as “non-banking financial institutions.” The deadline was extended for an additional six months due to a broad lack of understanding in the car dealership community.
Which car dealerships must comply with FTC Safeguard?
All auto dealerships with more than 5,000 customers in their database.
What PII is covered under Safeguard for auto dealerships?
Most of this legislation related to protection of personal identifiable financial information (PIFI). PIFI does not simply include social security numbers and credit card information, but all transactions that take place that might disclose a customer’s financial information. This may include basic information such as name and contact information, and applies to all consumers who inquire about financial instruments, regardless of whether a formal application is filed.
What are the requirements for PII protection under Safeguard for auto dealerships?
Your dealership must have a written, stated policy in place that includes the following:
Ensure the safety and confidentiality of customer PII and PIFI. This includes encryption of information.
Protect against physical and digital threats to the security of customer information
Protect against unauthorized access to customer information. This includes access management, multi-factor authentication, and audit logs.
This policy must be oversee by someone with qualified cybersecurity training.
What privacy notices do car dealerships now need to give customers?
Car dealerships must now maintain a record of customer consent for any customers who they extend credit or assist with arranging financing for a private vehicle.
Any personal information that you collect to provide these services is covered by the Privacy Rule. Examples of personal information include someone’s name, address, phone number, or other information that could be used to identify them individually.
You don’t need to give a privacy notice to someone who simply expresses an interest in buying a car from you or asks general questions about financing or leasing. However, if a person gives you personal information in connection with a potential transaction, even without completing a formal application — you may be obligated to obtain a privacy notice.
Whether leasing or arranging credit, you must give them a privacy notice no later than at the time of signing of the retail installment contract or lease agreement — even if you do not disclose their personal information to others.
How can VeriScan help dealerships be compliant with FTC Safeguard regulations?
VeriScan Online Enterprise offers integration of waivers and agreements into your onboarding flow. These waivers can be automatically associated to the customer account, ensuring you are compliant from the moment a customer walks into your dealership.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — If you’re purchasing tobacco in Nevada, 2023 will bring new validation challenges. As of January 1, 2023, Nevada retailers will be required to digitally scan IDs for tobacco and vape purchases, in compliance with new law, Nevada AB 360. This law extends to liquor stores, vape shops, grocery stores, bars, casinos, and any establishment selling tobacco or e-cigarettes.
AB 360 was signed by the governor in May 2021. This bill prohibits a person from selling, distributing, or offering to sell cigarettes, cigarette paper or other tobacco products to a person under 40 years of age without first conducting age verification through enhanced controls that utilize a scanning technology, or other automated, software-based system, to verify that the person is at least 18 years of age and imposes a civil penalty of $100 on a person who fails to do so.
This law mimics language present in Nevada’s cannabis sales regulations, where digital ID scanning is also required.
14.2% of Nevada adults smoke. Additionally, Nevada maintains some of the most lenient indoor smoking laws in the country, still allowing for tobacco consumption in casinos, strip clubs, and standalone bars.
IDScan.net is offering industry-leading technology, combining the Panasonic TOUGHBOOK® N1 with best-in-class age verification software. In addition to basic scanning, and age checking, IDScan.net software performs 2D barcode security, which includes more than 75 AI-powered checks on the barcode on the back of each ID. These additional security checks help detect fake IDs and provide an additional line of defense against tobacco sales to minors.
The solution, powered by the TOUGHBOOK N1, comes with pre-installed software. This allows retailers to start scanning IDs and remain compliant from the day their ID scanner arrives. The TOUGHBOOK® N1 offers far greater durability than other handheld scanners, as well as laser auto-focus which speeds up the scanning process.
AB 360 also extends to eCommerce sales, with online tobacco sales in the state requiring ID upload and verification. To accommodate this requirement, IDScan.net additionally offers digital identity verification solutions for eCommerce applications.
Illinois has begun to explore the idea of having both mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs) and digital license plates. Due to the recent adoption of mobile ID use in several other states, the Secretary of State’s office is now looking into implementation in Indiana per House Bill 0260.
There is not currently a timeline for when the expected research and implementation is set to begin, but we will continue to watch for updates on this new ID format, so stay tuned for more information.

Hawaii announced in 2021 that it planned to begin offering a mobile driver’s license (mDL) to state residents through the Apple Wallet. In addition, House Bill 1686 was also proposed, which would allow the state to create a digital identification program.
The bill was passed in March of 2022, but the pilot program for digital IDs has not yet been implemented. Nor has the integration to the Apple Wallet. We will continue to watch for updates on this new ID format, so stay tuned for more information.
https://idscan.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/hawaii-set-to-adopt-two-new-digital-id-formats-scaled.jpg17072560Brittaney Gillieshttps://idscan.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/IDScan.net-Logo-300x137.pngBrittaney Gillies2022-12-14 16:12:462023-06-20 11:42:59Hawaii Set to Adopt Two New Digital ID Formats
In September of 2017, Arkansas passed Act557 (formerly SB428) that allows Arkansans to have a digital copy of their ID on a mobile device. The bill mentions that the digital driver’s license would be available to view on a mobile device or computer. To obtain this digital copy, residents must pay a $10 fee at the Arkansas Office of Driver Services, and they will be given access to a digital copy, which will be valid for the same length of time as their physical ID.
The Arkansas mobile ID as discussed here is not the same as other states’ mobile driver’s licenses in which Apple Wallet or a state-based application is utilized. In Louisiana, residents use the app called LA Wallet to hold their digital driver’s license, as well as other licenses and permits including COVID-19 vaccine cards and fishing licenses. Arkansas may one day upgrade the digital copy of licenses to read on applications, but this digital copy is a great step in the right direction for the state.
Current Implications
For now, the digital version only works on the ground in Arkansas. For example, if you get pulled over, you are legally allowed to use the digital copy when identifying yourself to the police
However, the Arkansas mobile ID is not accepted by TSA or government entities outside of Arkansas.
Act557 does not specify whether businesses are required to accept the Arkansas digital ID for age or identity verification.

Connecticut announced in 2021 that it planned to begin offering a mobile driver’s license (mDL) to state residents through the Apple Wallet. Through the Apple Wallet, “The data will be encrypted, and customers will be required to use biometric authentication such as facial or fingerprint recognition to access the license,” Apple mentioned. The Transportation Security Administration plans to allow a mobile ID to be used at security checkpoints in airports.
While the new mobile ID format was announced in 2021, it seems that the integration has not yet been released in Connecticut at this time. We will continue to watch for updates on this new ID format, so stay tuned for more information.

Perform an age verification through an independent, third-party age verification service that compares information available from public records to the personal information entered by the person during the ordering process that establishes that the person is over the age of 18 years and use a method of mail, shipping or delivery that requires the signature of a person over the age of 18 years before the items are released to the purchaser, unless the person:
(1) Requires the customer to:
(I) Create an online profile or account with personal information, including, without limitation, a name, address, social security number and a valid phone number, that is verified through publicly available records; or
(II) Upload a copy of a government-issued identification card that includes a photograph of the customer; and sends the package containing the items to the name and address of the customer who ordered the items.
What AB360 means for online sales
This amendment to AB360 loops in online sales into the restrictive measures for tobacco purchase. Now, not only will liquor stores, grocery stores, and vape shops be required to comply with ID scanning laws, any business that sells tobacco digitally will be forced to comply as well. eCigarettes in particular are often sold online, and internet tobacco sales are legal broadly across the US.
Businesses that sell tobacco online, or perform tobacco delivery, will need to verify age in one of two ways:
Upload the front and back of the individual’s government-issued ID or drivers license and perform an authenticity check and age verification.
A check against a third party database such as the state DMV, before the transaction. This is challenging as the Nevada DMV API availability for use by private businesses remains under development. Other third party databases can be used to verify age, but may present a challenge to business and/or slow down the purchase process.
Mobile ID validation is the ideal solution for quickly validating identity before tobacco purchase. Small retailers can trigger mobile ID validation via SMS, while larger retailers will likely want to integrate validation more deeply into their existing workflows. This type of solution quickly parses the information in the ID’s 2D barcode, compares it to the front of the ID, and performs face matching via selfie. It provides an extremely high level of confidence in the purchase’s age, and identity.
Can you order cigarettes with apps like DoorDash, UberEats, etc?
According the legislation, all online tobacco purchases in Nevada will be subject to these rules. Major vendors such as Amazon, DoorDash, and UberEats will need to rapidly overhaul their systems to remain compliant while continuing to deliver tobacco products. With the highly publicized banning of Juul due to their marketing to minors the government has shown a strong will to crack down on underage sales of products that represent a public health risk.
Chicago and New York City are among two major municipalities to bring forth lawsuits against digital purveyors of tobacco products, alleging that the retailers did not perform due diligence in verifying the age of the purchaser.
3 According to the suit, “[a]t no time before or during the purchase or delivery of the tobacco products or accessories did Defendants request a valid form of government identification or any other verification of Doe’s age,”34 and “at no time before or after the delivery of the tobacco products and accessories did Defendants call or email Doe to get more identifying information or confirm that Doe was 21 years old or older.”35 According to Chicago’s then Corporation Counsel, Edward Siskel: “Manufacturers and sellers of e-cigarettes were put on notice that Chicago is willing to take legal action to prevent them from peddling their products to Chicago youth, and this second lawsuit demonstrates our commitment to protecting youth and policing online retailers.”
Some major retailers like Walmart have elected to limit online sales of tobacco products entirely. And payment processor PayPal has also prohibited use of their platform for purchase of tobacco products.

Cannabis lounges, where adults 21 and older can openly use marijuana products, are set to open in Nevada by the end of 2022.
Establishments will be required to use ID scanning to verify the age of their customers.
The regulation reads as follows:
15.015 Duties of cannabis establishment agent for a cannabis consumption lounge before sale to consumer. Before a cannabis establishment agent allows access into the facility and prior to selling single-use cannabis products or ready-to-consume cannabis products to a consumer, the cannabis establishment agent shall: 1. Verify the age of the consumer by checking and authenticating a government-issued identification card containing a photograph of the consumer using an identification scanner approved by the appropriate Board Agent to determine the validity and authenticity of any government-issued identification card as well as visually inspect the birthdate on the form of identification presented…
The cannabis consumption lounges mark the first major expansion of Nevada’s cannabis industry since legalization in 2017.
IDScan.net offers ID scanners, as well as softwares that are tailored to the cannabis industry. The age verification process involves scanning the ID upon arrival; verifying age, expiration status, and validity; easily storing the information to company records; and passing information to POS system for a smooth transaction process.
