JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The owner of a Mississippi medical marijuana dispensary
filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday challenging state regulations that he says
censor business owners by preventing them from advertising.
After Mississippi legalized medical marijuana for people with debilitating
conditions in 2022, Clarence Cocroft II opened Tru Source Medical Cannabis in
Olive Branch, Mississippi. But he says he has struggled to reach customers
because Mississippi’s Department of Health has banned medical marijuana
businesses from advertising in any media.
That violates business owners’ First Amendment rights, Cocroft’s attorneys wrote
in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
Mississippi.
“All I want to do, like any other business owner, is have the opportunity to
advertise. If I pay taxes in this business, which I do, I should be able to
advertise,” Cocroft said at a news conference. “All I’m asking from this state
is to provide us with the same liberty that they’ve provided other businesses.”

Cocroft, who is represented by the Institute for Justice, sued the leaders of
the state’s Department of Health, Department of Revenue and Alcoholic Beverage
Control Bureau. The lawsuit accuses state regulations of prohibiting business
owners from engaging in truthful commercial speech to promote their legal
businesses, which attorneys argue violates the First Amendment.
“Under the ban, Clarence can’t advertise in any media. He cannot place ads in
newspapers or magazines, on television or radio, or even on billboards that he
already owns,” said Katrin Marquez, one of Cocroft’s attorneys. “The First
Amendment does not allow a state to completely censor a legal business. If it is
legal to sell a product, it is legal to talk about that product.”
A spokesperson for the Mississippi Department of Health did not immediately
respond to an email requesting comment Tuesday. A spokesperson for the
Department of Revenue said the agency had not heard about the lawsuit.
Arkansas, Louisiana and Alabama also have regulations that prohibit dispensaries
from advertising through public mediums. But Cocroft’s attorneys said
Mississippi’s regulations are more stringent than those in neighboring states.
Mississippi law allows patients to buy up to 3.5 grams of cannabis per day, up
to six days a week.
The state Health Department cannot prevent dispensaries from placing
“appropriate signs” on their properties or displaying products they sell on
their websites. All other advertising restrictions are up to the Health
Department, which prohibits dispensaries from advertising or marketing “in any
media.”
“The state government cannot simultaneously authorize the legal sale of a
product or service, while forbidding the truthful advertising of said product,”
Marquez said. “No law, state or federal, justifies the censorship in this case.”
When Cocroft started Tru Source, he says he budgeted for advertising and
purchased a few billboards in highly trafficked areas in northern Mississippi.
He has been leasing the billboards to other businesses and relied instead on
word-of-mouth recommendations to reach potential customers.
“It’s simply unfair that every other legal business in Mississippi is allowed to
advertise, while I have to rely on word of mouth,” Cocroft said.
