Missouri cannabis sales projected to top $1.3 Billion in 2023…

Straight cash homie


SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) - MoCannTrade, the cannabis trade association in Missouri, estimates 2023 total cannabis sales in Missouri will surpass $1.3 billion, despite having only medical cannabis sales in the first month of 2023.

Recreational marijuana did not become legal until Feb. 3, 2023, and since then, the state has averaged nearly $4 million in cannabis sales per day.

”It is a very robust industry,” said Dan Viets, the Executive Director and Attorney for Missouri NORML who helped author the Constitutional Amendment that legalized marijuana.

Over the first 11 months of 2023, Missouri dispensaries have sold $1,215,100,000 of legal marijuana in the state of Missouri, including $930 million of adult use sales and $285 million of medical marijuana sales.

By the numbers: Missouri’s marijuana industry at the end of 2023 debut of recreational sales

In 2023, the year in which recreational marijuana became legal in Missouri, the overall cannabis industry (medical and recreational) sales are estimated to be over $1.3 billion.

It’s everywhere here. There’s a good size weed shop in St. Louis City right next door to Police HQ.

Never thought you would see that.

 

[onlyTheObvious]

I see in contributing to even worse parents and problems in school.

But it will be legal eventually everywhere.

Yeah, but what are the statistics on weed injection overdoses in MO this year?

Weed dealers are mixing in free fentanyl I’m told.

Especially with the swath of Bible Belt.

The credit card processors might be the lobby that ends up getting federal legalization

Federal sales tax? $32t.

 

[JRHawk2003]

It's really helped bring the prices down in Illinois

 

[Hawk_4shur]

Which is another reason to legalize it, regulate it, inspect it - and tax the crap out of it.

 

[SeaPA]

Hell, that was a typical holiday weekend at my frat house in the 80s.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

That is a lot of highways and bridges to be built

 

[lucas80]

Too bad that because our governor is an alcoholic who has decided that her sh**ty life choices mean we all have to suffer. Bi-partisan support overruled because our governor is a bottle jockey.

That's why you go to dispensaries and not dealers.

I went to a dispensary in Chicago and tried using my credit card but was told cash only. I figured cards were allowed since my dispensaries accept credit cards.

What dispensary accepts credit cards? I’ve never seen that in any state.

In California a couple near my place accept them.

Kim is so wrong on this. Think of all the school vouchers she could fund if she allowed weed to be legalized in Iowa. Circle of life as those douchers from Dowling and Xavier pay for their own schooling.

all the OR ones have an ATM right at the entrance.

 

[TennNole17]

How much of the sales is tax revenue?

It really should be legal everywhere. I want some edibles but a half day trip to Missouri boot sounds not worth it.

 

[dgordo]

The ones in Illinois let you pay with debit cards or Venmo etc.

 

[ItsinourDNA]

Kim is dead set those Iowa $$$ flow to the surrounding states.

MO does

 

[JRHawk2003]

I thought it was Cash because banks were federal and it's illegal federally.

 

[like-woahh]

That's what I thought too but every place I've been in MO takes cards. I still use cash because until it's federally legal I'm not putting anything on a card. Overly paranoid I'm sure, but w/e.

 

[BrianNole777]

There's a weed store near my house that looks like a bank.

I'm still shocked weed is legal.

 

[jellyfish10]

Not if you are from out of state. In fact, I have been to four or five in Illinois, and they were all cash only.

yep cartels are going to smuggle fentanyl into the US to give it away? that d be a first with me. I m still waitin for my free cocaine.

Are you sure it's not cash or debit? I've seen places start to except debit (enter your pin) but nothing credit wise

Lol

MO is where I get my weed and I have no problem paying the tax. Well worth the convenience and selection of a dispensary. I had an Iowa medical card for 2 years, but the selection of strains is nonexistent. F Reynolds.

I wonder if because most credit card companies are based in another state if there is some federal regulations that prevent using them to buy weed since it would qualify as interstate commerce or something.

Yep. Banks are afraid of controlled substances act and money laundering prosecutions.

I went to Eagleville MO and the wait was over two hours. Ended up driving to a dispensary in Cameron and got right in. After visiting MO, there is no need to go to Illinois and there out of state limits. It is cheaper in MO and you can get 10x more.

 

[dgordo]

Illinois prices are still too high but have finally started to come down. I saw half ounces for $100 last week, big improvement.

Capitalism babay!

What is anyone’s guess on when Iowa legalizes weed?

Not until there is a change at the top.

True.

 

[win4jj]

Which dispensary in Illinois is better than others within eastern Iowa driving range do you guys suggest.

Reynolds needs to go. Until then it’s off the table.
