Cannabis Policy Reform Timeline
- 2004: Local decriminalization began with the city of Columbia, MO.
- 2014: Missouri lawmakers amended the criminal code to reduce marijuana possession penalties with Senate Bill 491; CBD oil with low THC was legalized
- 2017: Possession of fewer than 10 grams of cannabis became only punishable by a fine.
- 2018: Missouri residents passed Amendment 2 to legalize the use of marijuana by adults in the state.
- 2020: The state began awarding licenses to dispensaries, labs, manufacturers, and growers; the first dispensary opened in Missouri
Over two-thirds of Missouri voters supported the efforts to legalize medical marijuana in 2018; however, in late 2020, the state still had not opened a medical dispensary. Residents waited until the end of 2020 for legal, medical cannabis to be available for purchase by medical marijuana cardholders. Patients with a qualified medical condition approved by a licensed physician can now access several statewide dispensaries.
Legal Missouri 2022 sponsored Amendment 3, a ballot initiative allowing adults 21 and older to possess, purchase, and privately grow cannabis. The ballot measure also ensures the expungement of non-violent cannabis-related offenses and adds a six percent tax on cannabis sales to help fund court costs and legal fees for those needing it.
Missouri recreational dispensaries opened in February 2023. The state has already seen eight million in sales from the first weekend, with more to come as adult-use dispensaries are allowed to open safely.
Possession Limits in MO
- Patients with a Missouri medical cannabis card can possess up to four ounces of marijuana per month.
