Will licenses to open a dispensery and grow operations be given just as freely as a regular business license? From what I've gathered, that's a no.

Who cares? Buy it from your local guy.

I don't smoke anymore but think most people prefer the cheaper prices that come along with legal market. Also not having to spend time with your local guy like pretend friends is a luxury I'd have actually paid more for back then

1g carts are $45-$65 at a MO dispensary. I get them for $20 from my guy (I get five at a time). He’s a friend, so I enjoy seeing him every once in a while!

Im glad you like yours. Most of mine were pretty sketch.

It might take a while of being recreational for prices to fall.

I remember paying $15-20/gram for anything better than brick stuff in Southern Oklahoma as a teen. I see my friends from my hometown once or twice a year and it shocks me how much cheaper they're able to get things through dispensaries now and the absolute variety of it too. With so much less hassle and people to deal with too. I've got a few duuuumb stories trying to score from randos and pretending to be nice to really douchey people at events. Id pay the extra amount for the luxury of skipping all that but not double the amount like you're saying it is.

Anyway, since you're the only person to reply please explain question 3 to me. It's worded very weirdly and I'm going to vote tomorrow and don't even know what it's for. I assumed it was just a tax increase from the question but everyone here is talking about handguns and dispensaries and stuff. Like I don't see that on the online ballot at all

These carts come from Oklahoma. Missouri is just newer and generally more difficult.

As a general rule, every time legalization of marijuana comes up, vote yes on it. Can’t go wrong.

You think those industry owners aren't gonna use the law the stop that?

Read the purpose of the language. It literally says the legislation is designed to stop the illicit Market.

If it's going to happen it may as well happen fair and not have to go through a lottery to open a business or pay a bunch of money to "win" the lottery

That’s the wrong idea bud. Like every other marijuana legislation, we’ve used the foot in the door technique. Get it legal recreationally, and then fix it later. It doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to be legal. I’ve had my cannabis card for over two years but I’ve never stepped foot in a Missouri dispensary. But I sure do love not being freaked out if I get pulled over.

The problem is it will be in the MO constitution…fixing it later is going to be very difficult if at all. We’ll see I guess.

Welcome to the reality of politics. Nothing is pure. Everything has a payoff to someone. Still not going to let the pursuit of perfection interfere with progress.

The problem is they won't be given to the small guys, they'll be given to the Walmart weed stores.

Exactly, vote no until anyone can open one

Voting no will keep putting people in prison for weed.

Yeah that's a great point to vote yes

... how about vote yes, then vote to change licensing laws for business. In the meantime Green Light and Flora Farms have Grow Ops in-state. It can be done, it just needs licensing. Which stands to reason for any business venture handling a federally controlled substance.

In the meantime, voting YES on Proposition 3 will bring money to the state on marijuana tax. It will also legalize the manufacture, purchase, delivery, possession, consumption, and use of marijuana for those 21 and over. Most importantly, it will expunge the records of many convicted of crimes related to a controlled substance.

There's no reason to vote no.

Only existing med license holders will get adult use licenses. The micro licenses are another story.
