Marijuana Legalization

Missouri’s emerging marijuana industry surpasses $1 billion in sales

420 Day has sparked conversation about cannabis across the country as more states legalize recreational use.

Missouri’s recent legalization of recreational, adult-use marijuana has opened new opportunities for more people to buy from dispensaries. Experts say the state’s relatively low prices and taxes have created a “canna-tourism” industry.

Business owners across the state are looking to the future after riding out a surprising first few days of recreational marijuana sales.

Nearly all of Missouri's businesses approved to sell medical marijuana applied for a license to also sell it for recreational use.

St. Louis residents who’ve purchased recreational marijuana at Metro East dispensaries say the convenience of having local shops and lower taxes will make Missouri locations more attractive.

The newly-created position will work to ensure social and economic equity requirements of Missouri’s new marijuana law are met
