marijuana legalization

More than 140,000 marijuana cases have been expunged since Missouri legalized recreational cannabis in 2022

The state constitution now requires regulators to put more rules in place to protect children from accidental consumption and poisoning.

Sam Vosburg is a retired veteran and three-time cancer survivor who lives in Aurora – in southwest Missouri. He was recently selected for one of state’s first cannabis microbusiness licenses. He spoke about how marijuana helped him with his own health – and about his plans to expand his hobby into a full-fledged business.

The Division of Cannabis Regulation issued the first round of cannabis microbusiness licenses following a random lottery drawing.

The recall is for manufactured products sold to dispensaries and manufacturers by infused product manufacturer Delta Extraction, LLC.

Amy Moore is the director of the Division of Cannabis Regulation at Missouri's Department of Health and Senior Services. She joined KBIA's Anna Spidel to discuss the state's new recreational program and adjustments to the existing medical cannabis program.
