Cannabis

The legislation allows drinks but prohibits the sale of intoxicating hemp edibles outside of marijuana dispensaries

More than 140,000 marijuana cases have been expunged since Missouri legalized recreational cannabis in 2022

The bill aims to bring hemp drugs into the regulatory fold by subjecting them to the same rules as marijuana.

MoCann Trade urges state regulators to adopt a rule that would allow microbusiness licensees to sell license sooner, not have exclusive operational control of business.

The industry has sold more than $715 million of marijuana in the nearly 7 months since recreational sales began in February. Adult-use products account for almost $550 million of that total.
