Caregiver background checks will now be required every two years instead of annually.
Both chambers in the Mississippi Legislature have agreed to minor changes to the state’s medical cannabis program this session.
The House concurred with the Senate’s changes to HB 895 this week.
Under the amended provisions, the time of validity of a patient’s medical cannabis card will remain at 12 months, but the time a caregiver needs to undergo a follow-up background check was extended slightly.

THE BLESSINGS OF LIFE LIVED IN GOD’S PURPOSE
Listen to what the Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy: “…God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity…” (2nd Timothy 1:8-10). God has a purpose for us. Are you a Christian? Are you living in God’s purpose? In Paul’s Colossians letter we learn of four great blessings which come from living in God’s purpose.

Though school choice talks have stalled this session, bills regarding a state tax program that incentivizes Mississippians to donate to private schools have now passed both chambers of the Legislature and head to final negotiations.
Since 2020, private schools and foster care organizations have been receiving money through the Children’s Promise Act, which gives donors a dollar-for-dollar tax credits for up to 50% of the donor’s state tax liability.

Measles hit Spartanburg, South Carolina, hard. Reuters reported last month nearly 1,000 individuals got infected in Spartanburg County since October. The outbreak hit in places like the Global Academy of South Carolina where 21% of students had not been vaccinated, then spread to the unvaccinated at places like Costco, Publix, Goodwill, Burger King, the library, a museum, and the post office, reported the New York Times.
“This is not normal,” state epidemiologist Dr. Linda Bell said. “This is unprecedented.”

Truth can be strange, and those who think to the contrary should try reading Julian Sancton’s new book, “Neptune’s Fortune, The Billion Dollar Shipwreck and the Ghosts of the Spanish Empire.”
At the center of the book is Roger Dooley, a Cuban American who explored the island’s waters for Castro, scoured the Spanish archives for decades, and at age 71 found off the coast of Colombia the wreck of a famous 18th century ship loaded with gold, which neither he nor anyone else has gotten to touch.
