It’s a very poorly written almost 40 page bill. https://www.sos.mo.gov/CMSImages/Elections/Petitions/2022-059.pdf

It gives preference to already existing MMJ facilities and lotteries in high weed conviction areas.

I’ve seen the left and the right both say no to it for diff reasons and if you get that to happen nowadays you know it’s bad.

Unfortunately the public only sees the ballot language and not the text of the amendment.

I would be ok with grow all you want at home under a personal use amount, a minimum of one storefront per county and a population based expander such as if more than 10k of people live within a county you get one more store per every 10k people or whatever. No high net worth, no already in the biz, no disenfranchised. You show up with a plan that meets general requirements, welcome to the lottery.

I think it will pass based on ballot language alone, but it’s a very unfair bill for all sorts of reasons. No on Tuesday doesn’t mean no forever….but a diff approach.
