Where will the legal stores be located?

Can I smoke a joint in public?

no Smoking cannabis in public carries a fine of up to $100, but not arrest.

Can I grow cannabis at home?

Yes, but you need legal permission. Missouri requires home cannabis growers to purchase a $100 annually renewable Homegrow Card. Applications for homegrow cards are available by law no later than January 8, 2023, and the state will review those applications no later than February 8, 2023.

Who regulates legal producers and sellers?

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services handles the regulatory responsibilities.

The change introduces a one-time fee of $7,000 for an application for a cannabis retail license. Applicants who are selected must then pay an annual fee of $10,000 per retail store. The license must be renewed every three years for a $3,000 renewal fee.

How many trades will eventually be allowed?

Initially, in February 2023, as many as 195 recreational cannabis stores could be open in Missouri. (That’s the number of existing medical pharmacies whose licenses will be expanded to sell to adults if the company so chooses.)

The new marijuana law does not include a hard limit on the number of cultivation, processing, and retail licenses issued by state regulators.

However, there is a minimum number of licenses: the state must issue at least as many adult-use cannabis full licenses as there are medical marijuana growers/processors/retailers operating on December 1, 2022.

What does that actually mean? As of July 2022 there were:

• 191 licensed medical marijuana dispensaries
• 70 licensed medical marijuana processors
• 49 licensed medical marijuana growers

The initiative allows state regulators to exercise their judgment on the number of aggregate licenses within this statutory guideline: “The [state regulatory department] may remove or relax any limit on the number of licensees or certificate holders to meet state demand for marijuana and ensure a competitive market, while preventing over-concentration of marijuana facilities within a given local government’s boundaries.”
