"Disqualifying felony offense" means:

1. A conviction for a crime of violence, as defined in Miss. Code Section 97-3-2;

2. A conviction for a crime that was defined as a violent crime in the law of the jurisdiction in which the offense was committed, and that was classified as a felony in the jurisdiction where the person was convicted; or

3. A conviction for a violation of a state or federal controlled substances law that was classified as a felony in the jurisdiction where the person was convicted, including the service of any term of probation, incarceration, or supervised release within the previous five (5) years and the offender has not committed another similar offense since the conviction. Under this subparagraph (3), a disqualifying felony offense shall not include a conviction that consisted of conduct for which the Medical Cannabis Program would likely have prevented the conviction but for the fact that the conduct occurred before the effective date of the Program's creation.
