Missouri voters will decide in November whether to legalize recreational marijuana
Voters in Missouri will decide in November whether to legalize adult recreational marijuana use, paving the way for Missouri to potentially become the 20th state to legalize and tax the drug.
Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft on Tuesday said his office certified an initiative petition to place the issue on the Nov. 8 ballot. Ashcroft’s office certified more than 214,000 voter signatures across the state’s eight congressional districts — well above the required roughly 180,000 needed to make the ballot.
The ballot initiative would eliminate a state ban on marijuana sales, consumption and manufacturing for adults over the age of 21. The question builds on a 2018 constitutional amendment that legalized the use and sale of medical marijuana.
