Approvals for Adult-Use Market
Missouri officials have given clearance for the first dispensaries to sell marijuana to adult consumers. The state Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) has approved 335 facilities, including dispensaries, manufacturers, and cultivation facilities, to operate in the adult-use cannabis market.
Applications for Home Cultivation
Missouri residents can now apply to grow their own cannabis at home. The Department of Health and Senior Services has started accepting applications from adults for lawful cultivation of marijuana plants. The state’s voter-approved marijuana law requires individuals to apply for approval to cultivate their own plants.
Legislative Attempts for Legalization
Missouri witnessed legislative attempts to legalize marijuana, including a reform bill introduced by Rep. Ron Hicks. However, these attempts did not advance, and the Supreme Court’s ruling on a legal challenge to the activist-led initiative confirmed the placement of marijuana legalization on the ballot.
