Since Missouri voters legalized adult-use cannabis in November 2022, the state has emerged as a model for how to efficiently and effectively implement a regulated retail cannabis market.
In the latest episode of Weed Wonks, host Jordan Wellington speaks with Amy Moore, Director of the Division of Cannabis Regulation at the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, about the rollout, why it was successful, and how regulators developed the rules governing legal cannabis businesses.
They also discuss how the state drew from the experiences of other states and the wide variety of perspectives it included in its stakeholder process. Moore also talks about Missouri’s licensing of microbusinesses and how its next phase in policy development may impact the market.
