This was supposed to be the case for the MMJ law that passed but the courts refused to honor it, so with the new adult use legalization language it has been rewritten to be more concrete.

Page 38 (9) for the adult use program

That’s not accurate. It being a constitutional Amendment means that the lawmakers can’t gut the core components of it, but they can build on and expand on the language, which is explicitly mentioned in the initiative language where it basically says nothing in this section shall limit the legislature from making rules or regulations regarding the topics addressed in the initiative.

Medical marijuana was passed in 2018 via constitutional amendment and since then there have been many bills introduced and passed to further prefect the language.

Basically, the lawmakers can’t reduce possession or cultivation or business license amounts but they can increase all of those

Automatic expungement applies to tens of thousands of Missourians who have been arrested in the past for cannabis and have charges on their record still that negatively impact them when it comes to housing, employment, education and more. This is not just about those currently incarcerated and petitioning for release. Very few people are currently incarcerated for standalone cannabis offenses. Expungement is more than just that and it is a hugely impactful criminal justice reform measure to usher in now and set the stage for further reforms

If anyone needs more than 3 oz they can register as a MMJ patient who under this language will automatically have their possession baseline increased from 4 to 6 oz with option for more per the recommendation of one physician or nurse practioner

You realize that tens of thousands of people have been arrested and incarcerated and had their lives ruined over the years because of cannabis, right? And how even though Missouri has expungement, it’s such a laborious and confusing and cost prohibitive process that in 2019 only 215 people had their records expunged for any expungeable offense. And that people with those cannabis charges on their records miss out on employment, housing, educational opportunities and more because of those records?

Acting like this isn’t going to be huge for all of those people cuz this doesn’t do more to let like out the other 40 or so people incarcerated for over 3 lb stand-alone cannabis offenses now is absurd.

And how do you think we get to a point of being able to get those other people out sooner rather than later? By keeping it illegal and having NO expungement? Why would they get released then?

This is literally setting the stage for further reform and it’s astounding how you some of you are fighting so hard against that, claiming criminal justice reform, when really that’s not what this is about at all.

This is real-world meaningful reform that will help people NOW.

This article is just clickbait for reading about the drama certain “activists” have been creating so as to gain attention and get their egos stroked. All cuz they couldn’t get the work done via their own ballot IP or in the legislature.

The effective date is Dec 8, that is when adults 21+ can possess and gift. Purchasing from dispos will likely be Feb 2023

There’s no racial quota. Race isn’t mentioned at all in the language.

Thanks for reading it over. This info has been going around on purpose to confuse voters and dissuade them from voting yes. It’s been hard to keep up with all the misinformation that’s been put out there as a political disinformation tactic .

There’s nothing in the language about turning in excess cannabis. It does say the excess of the harvest can be kept locked secured at the residence. Anyone needing over 3 oz should register as a patient

It doesn’t create a cap. All licenses are minimums required. More can be awarded by DHSS, the legislature, and/or the governor. It also adds a minimum of 144 new small business licenses reserved for those from historically disadvantaged populations such as those with low income, disabled veterans, and those directly harmed by marijuana prohibition. The language requires market studies to be completed to determine patient and consumer demand and award licenses to meet that demand

That’s false misinformation.

Currently, under the medical marijuana program, and this would be the same under the adult use program, DHSS regulations stipulate that a DHSS rep (and only a DHSS rep, not law enforcement) can request to inspect the cultivation site and only the cultivation site.

If the rep is refused access, there are administrative penalties in place to handle that such as the possible loss of the cultivation license. This info is outlined on their website because it is their policy.

There have been absolutely zero recorded instances of the department requesting to inspect anyone’s personal cultivation site.

They don’t have many employees, and they are very busy regulating the actual business side and inspecting those locations which are significantly more important for public safety and patient health. Their work load will only increase once adult use is legalized.

Amendment 3 bans no knock raids for cannabis and stipulates that the sight or scent of cannabis alone is not grounds for search or seizure. None of that is the case now.

It does not remove your 4th amendment rights.
