Missouri Legalization – Cannabis advocates petition to legalize marijuana in Missouri

What a time to be alive !! The news that cannabis is being legalized almost simultaneously in different states, or efforts in that direction, are a joy for the marijuana community. The state of Missouri has joined the League of States Awareness of the Powerful Possibilities of Cannabis.

Fair Access Missouri’s Legalization Efforts

Thanks to a petition from Fair Access Missouri, the state will soon legalize cannabis. The focus for the state is on “adult use” marijuana, which also comes from the petition by the local coalition calling for an “open market”.

The group believes legal cannabis will boost the state’s economy and create jobs, creating wealth and long-term income. Fair Access Missouri will file the petition with the Secretary of State’s office later this week.

Advocacy members have been working on this legalization path for many years to create an open market in Missouri with fair rules for all cannabis users. In addition to cannabis users, they also want fair laws for patients (those who use medicinal cannabis) and entrepreneurs who manufacture marijuana products.

The filing marks the next step in the battle for a legalized marijuana state, and Fair Access Missouri is excited about the progress made so far. They claim to have seen smart rules and an open cannabis market helping other states with their legalization process and want to head in the same direction with Missouri.

Medical and recreational cannabis for the state of Missouri

While it looks like the group is solely focused on recreational marijuana, it isn’t. They also want a revised amendment to the Missouri state constitution that will allow doctors to obtain state licenses to recommend cannabis for medical problems.

The change will allow these doctors to offer marijuana to patients with serious illnesses. This is an important piece of the kind of legal industry they want in Missouri.

When medical marijuana becomes legal in Missouri, patients with appropriate conditions will get the marijuana they need to treat their illnesses. Some of these qualifying conditions include glaucoma, epilepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder, cancer, migraines, and other diseases that do not respond to regular treatment.

The inclusion of medical cannabis in the petition for legalization means the group is poised to build a comprehensive cannabis industry in Missouri. Yes, recreational cannabis in the legalized system is excellent, but the inclusion of medical marijuana in the mix shows the group’s commitment to an inclusive cannabis society.

Changes to the Missouri Change

The Fair Access Missouri Group’s petition will include a section on amendment to allow the safe and legal use of marijuana. If the change is approved:

• Those eligible for marijuana use are allowed to grow up to 25 square feet of marijuana. You can do this if you own the room or if it is on the current rental agreement. The limitation of this change is that the area should be away from anyone under the age of 21 and it must be a safe place.

The people of Missouri want a legalized cannabis market

Fair Access Missouri isn’t the only group seeking a legalized cannabis market in the state. Another group, Missourians for a New Approach, has also called on the state’s people to sign a similar petition. You have encouraged residents to give the subject the voices and attention it takes to make it a reality.

When this step occurred in the past, some law enforcement agencies did not support the legalization movement. They have spoken out against it and it is still not clear whether they will oppose it this time.

However, we can say that things are no longer the same and this is due to the general change in the perception of marijuana. American citizens across the country are no longer as skeptical about cannabis as they used to be, which gives more credibility to petitions like the one currently being tabled in Missouri.

It is unclear how successful Fair Access Missouri will be with its petition as it is still in the initiative phase. It could be another 65 days before they get a response or know if the coalition gets the right number of signatures to put the issue on the ballot.

Despite these uncertainties (which is a common practice in all states seeking to legalize cannabis), the call in Missouri is loud and clear. Change is emerging as discussions of decriminalizing and expanding access to medical marijuana continue online and offline.

Missouri’s Kansas City Major Quinton Lucas is ready to pardon previous city convictions for marijuana possession. The state is entering a new phase in recreational and medicinal cannabis research, and it will be an exciting time for cannabis lovers.

Bottom line

The Fair Access Missouri Group took a much-needed bold step in the right direction, and their courage will lead the state into a new era where access to marijuana is no longer banned. The entire perception of marijuana is changing around the world, particularly in Missouri, as residents have expressed their desire for a regulated but legalized market.

Sometimes it just takes a single organization to steer the state in the right direction, and in Missouri we see how possible it is to make that happen. Yes, it’s still a petition, but it promises a lot for a bright and beautiful future for marijuana in Missouri.
