The legislature is at a standstill regarding both medical marijuana and industrial hemp. In March, House Bill 437, a proposed medical marijuana bill, received a hearing before the Health and Mental Health Policy Committee. The legislation would allow patients with painful, incurable illnesses to be treated with medical marijuana. Currently, no further hearings of the House bill are scheduled. Rep. Paul Curtman filed a bill that would legalize the cultivation of industrial hemp. Industrial hemp can be used to make paper, clothing, insulation, and many other products. The bill provides for monitoring and licensure of hemp cultivation and does not allow permits for anyone who has been convicted of a felony in the past 10 years or been convicted at any time of a state or federal felony for possession or distribution of a controlled substance. The industrial hemp bill passed 126-26 with bipartisan support, and the Senate’s Agriculture, Food Production and Outdoor Resources Committee voted 5-1 to approve the bill. Unfortunately, regular session ended on May 12. On November 6th Missouri PASSED Medical Marijuana with Amendment 2! Here is the current timeline as released by the state: Nov 30th: Missouri secretary of state’s office must certify the official election results, including Amendment 2. Dec 6th: Amendment 2 “technically” goes into effect 30 days from the date of the election. That’s Thursday, Dec. 6. June 6th: License applications available. Prospective patients and primary caregivers will need to apply for state identification for medical marijuana. Growers, manufacturers and sellers of marijuana products will need to apply for separate licenses. July 6th: Around July 6, the state must be ready to accept license applications, and there’s another deadline for the state to inform applicants whether they get a license or an explanation for why they don’t. Usually it then takes another 6-12 months from this point for cultivation centers to build their facilities, hire employees, plant cannabis, and have product ready. So it looks like the first sales will most likely not happen until early 2020. Get the full text of the Missouri Amendment 2.
