As kids and teens spend more time online, parents need to stay aware of who they’re communicating with and what they’re being exposed to. School breaks can create more opportunities for predators, scammers, and other risky online behavior, especially when routines are less structured.

A few important ways to help protect your child online:

✅ Turn off location sharing
✅ Keep an eye on disappearing-message apps like Snapchat, Instagram Vanish Mode, WhatsApp, and Messenger Secret Chats
✅ Have open conversations about unsafe messages, strangers online, and digital boundaries
✅ Keep devices in shared family spaces when possible
✅ Be mindful of what you post, how much personal information you share online, and how you interact on social media.

If your family is facing a legal issue involving online activity and a minor, Kelly Law Office is here to help you understand your options and next steps.

Public Information Post: Ma*****na and Driving Under the Influence

Our office has seen an increase in DUI cases involving ma*****na. With the creation of Mississippi’s medical cannabis program, it is important for the public to understand how Mississippi law applies to driving after using ma*****na or other controlled substances.

First, ma*****na DUI is real and it is illegal. Mississippi law makes it unlawful for a person to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of any drug or controlled substance.

Many people believe DUI laws only apply to alcohol or that there must be a specific THC level similar to the .08 BAC standard for alcohol. That is not how the law works.

Under Mississippi law, a person is considered "under the influence" when a substance has affected them in a way that "lessens their normal ability for clarity, judgment, and control while operating a vehicle."

In ma*****na DUI cases, impairment is typically determined through the totality of the circumstances, which may include:

• Driving behavior observed by law enforcement
• Physical indicators such as bloodshot eyes, slowed reactions, or balance issues
• Statements made by the driver
• Field sobriety testing
• The odor or presence of ma*****na
• Toxicology testing when available

Mississippi courts have repeatedly held that these types of observations may be used to determine whether a driver was under the influence of ma*****na.

It is also important to understand that urinalysis and/or toxicology testing can confirm exposure to ma*****na but, does not always show when the substance was consumed or whether the driver was impaired at that exact moment, which is why officer observations and other evidence are often important in these cases.

Finally, the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act did not make it legal to drive while under the influence of ma*****na. The law specifically states that DUI laws still apply even when ma*****na is being used legally for medical purposes if it impairs a person’s ability to operate a motor vehicle. (Miss. Code Ann. 63-11-30(15))

The same principle applies to many prescription medications that can impair a person’s ability to drive safely.

Driving under the influence of any substance places everyone on the road at risk. Our office remains committed to enforcing Mississippi’s DUI laws to protect the safety of our community.

If you choose to use ma*****na—whether recreationally in another state or legally through Mississippi’s medical cannabis program—do not drive while under its influence.

Public safety on our roadways depends on it.

Wrongful death claims arise when a life is lost due to someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions. While similar to personal injury cases, these claims are brought on behalf of the deceased by their loved ones because the person who was harmed is no longer here to seek justice themselves.

A wrongful death claim is typically filed by the personal representative of the estate. While no legal action can undo the loss, pursuing a claim can help ease the financial burdens left behind and provide families with a sense of accountability and closure.

If you believe your family may have a wrongful death claim, contact Kelly Law Office to discuss your options with a team that truly cares.
