EDITOR@WRIGHTCOUNTYJOURNAL.COM
In driving by the “Herbin
Outfitters and Glass” location
just off W. 1st St. in Mountain
Grove, many area residents
may be surprised to see a sign
encouraging a “No” vote on
what is known as the “legal-
ize marijuana amendment,”
Amendment 3, on the upcom-
ing November ballot.
According to the ballot lan-
guage, a “Yes” vote will amend
the Missouri Constitution to
remove state prohibitions on
the purchase, possession, con-
sumption, use, delivery, manu-
facture, and sale of marijuana
for personal use for adults over
the age of 21.
The amendment would also
allow individuals with certain
marijuana-related offenses to
petition for release from prison
or parole and probation and
have their records expunged;
along with imposing a 6% tax
on the retail price of recre-
ational marijuana.
A “No” vote will not amend
the Missouri Constitution and
the sale and use of marijuana
for recreational purposes will
remain prohibited under cur-
rent law. Medical marijuana
would remain unchanged.
If passed, this measure will
impose a 6% tax on the retail
price of recreational marijua-
na.
Owner Matt Meyer is telling
customers on his Facebook
page to “be sure to know what
you are voting for.”
“It’s a corrupt bill as is,” Mey-
er said.
He noted that its passage
would turn the marijuana
industry into a monopoly con-
trolled by companies not from
Missouri. He said it would also
impose a 3 ounce possession
limit with fines and penalties
being assessed for producing,
sharing or delivery of 3-6
ounces. “So it limits transport
for marijuana outside the state
of Missouri,” he said. “When it
does happen, become federally
legal all across the country, if
someone wants to go to Cal-
ifornia and come back, once
he’s brought it to Missouri, he
has committed a crime.”
He also said a “Yes” vote will
make it to where folks would
have to be in a government
database if wanting to grow it.
“If you want to grow your
own cannabis, you are waving
your fourth amendment rights
for search and seizure,” Mey-
er said. There is a belief that
a “Yes” vote would do more
for the corporations behind
marijuana and for the business
side of it. Gov. Mike Parson
has been quoted in calling the
amendment a “disaster.” One
more objection Meyer has for
a “Yes” vote is that anyone
currently serving a sentence
for having more than 3 pounds
has to finish the sentence be-
fore it can be expunged. (See
the full amendment in the B
Section.)

pleased to announce that
Anthony (Tony) Bruz-

Tony will be working
closely with local schools
and coaches, filling the
position held by Vince
Beam for 27 years.
Vince has been promot-

Sports Medicine at PTSC.
Tony knows the value of
athletic training and ap-
preciates his profession.
While in high school,
the Arkansas native in-
jured his shoulder while
playing basketball and
ultimately had to man-
age most of his recovery
efforts on his own.
“I was at a small school;
we didn’t have an athletic
trainer,” Bruzzichesi said.
“I had to do the rehab
myself through trial and
error. I looked up some
things and figured out
how to help my shoulder
a little bit.”
The experience showed
him that he wanted to
be there for students,
especially in moments
when seconds count.
Tony decided he wanted
to pursue his Athletic
Training degree attending
University of Arkansas

his master ’s in athletic
training in 2015.

of health or not for profit charity
or advocacy events. While the
department shall have the general
power to regulate the advertising
and promotion of marijuana sales,
under all circumstances, any
such regulation shall be no more
stringent than comparable state
regulations on the advertising and
promotion of alcohol sales;
(h) Development of individual
identification cards for owners,
officers, managers, contractors,
employees, and other support

marijuana licensees and requiring
licensees to test medical marijuana
using one or more impartial,
independent laboratories to ensure,
at a minimum, that products sold for

The department shall not require
any medical marijuana or medical
marijuana-infused products to be
tested more than once prior to sale.
(4) The department shall issue
rules or emergency rules to
provide for the certification of and

obtained from an applicant
or licensee containing any
individualized data, information,
or records related to the licensee

security information and plans, or
revealing any patient information, or
any other records that are exempt
from public inspection pursuant to
state or federal law. Such reports or
other information may be used only

medical marijuana-infused
products manufacturing facilities,
or medical marijuana dispensary

marijuana is outside of what is
lawful for medical or adult use,
cannot be the basis for a search of

abridge custodial or parental rights
to minor children in any action or
proceeding under the jurisdiction of
a family court under chapter 487,
RSMo, including domestic matters
under chapter 452, RSMo, or a
juvenile court under chapter 211,

federal law that is, or would have
been, a felony under Missouri

in a single, enclosed locked facility,
except when a primary caregiver
also holds a qualifying patient
cultivation identification card, in
which case no more than eighteen
flowering marijuana plants may be

cultivation facility, [medical]
marijuana testing facility, medical
marijuana-infused products
manufacturing facility, medical
marijuana dispensary facility, or
entity holding a transportation

[(12)] (11) Unless superseded
by federal law or an amendment
to this Constitution, a physician or
nurse practitioner shall not certify
a qualifying condition for a patient
by any means other than providing
a physician or nurse practitioner
certification for the patient, whether
handwritten, electronic, or in
another commonly used format.
[A qualifying patient must obtain a
new physician certification at least
annually.]
[(13)] (12) A physician or nurse
practitioner shall not issue a

identification card on behalf of a
nonemancipated qualifying patient
under the age of eighteen without
the written consent of the qualifying
patient’s parent or legal guardian.

directly to the patient. Only a parent
or guardian may serve as a primary

manufacture, transport,
testing, distribution, sale, and
administration of marijuana for
medical use or for activities
otherwise in compliance with this
section shall not be subject to asset
forfeiture solely because of that
use.
(15) Unless a failure to do so
would cause an employer to
lose a monetary or licensing-
related benefit under federal
law, an employer may not
discriminate against a person in
hiring, termination or any term
or condition of employment or
otherwise penalize a person, if the
discrimination is based upon either
of the following:
(a) The person’s status as
a qualifying patient or primary
caregiver who has a valid
identification card, including
the person’s legal use of a
lawful marijuana product off the
employer’s premises during
nonworking hours, unless the
person was under the influence of
medical marijuana on the premises
of the place of employment or
during the hours of employment; or
(b) A positive drug test for
marijuana components or
metabolites of a person who has a
valid qualifying patient identification
card, unless the person used,
possessed, or was under the
influence of medical marijuana
on the premises of the place of
employment or during the hours of
employment.
Nothing in this subdivision
shall apply to an employee in a
position in which legal use of a
lawful marijuana product affects in
any manner a person’s ability to
perform job-related employment
responsibilities or the safety of
others, or conflicts with a bona fide
occupational qualification that is
reasonably related to the person’s
employment.
(16) The enactment of section
2 of this Article and concurrent
amendments to section l of this
Article shall have no effect upon
any valid contract, claim, or cause
of action instituted prior to the
effective date of this section.
8. Federal Legalization.
If federal law, rules, or regulations
are amended to allow the interstate
commerce of marijuana or
marijuana-infused products or
the importation or exportation of
marijuana or marijuana-infused
products into or out of the state of
Missouri, the provisions and intent
of this section shall, to the extent
possible, remain in full effect,
unless explicitly preempted by such
federal law, rule, or regulation. If
federal law, rules, or regulations
are amended as provided above,
any marijuana or marijuana-infused
products imported into this state
shall be subject to the same testing
standards and seed to sale tracking
system required under this section
for marijuana and marijuana-
infused products produced within
the state. Unless federal law,
rules, or regulations explicitly
require otherwise, no entity shall
sell, transport, produce, distribute,
deliver, or cultivate marijuana or
marijuana-infused products without
an applicable license or certificate
as required under this section.
In addition, any raw biomass of
marijuana or marijuana flower
imported from out-of-state shall
be received only by a licensed
cultivation facility, while all batch
oil, infused marijuana products and
any marijuana product in any other
form shall be received only by a
licensed manufacturing facility.
[8.] 9. Severability.
The provisions of this section
are severable, and if any clause,
sentence, paragraph or section
of this measure, or an application
thereof, is adjudged invalid by any
court of competent jurisdiction,
the other provisions shall continue
to be in effect to the fullest extent
possible.
[9. Effective Date.
The provisions of this section
shall become effective on

Section 2. Marijuana
Legalization, Regulation, and
Taxation
1. Purpose.
The purpose of this section is to
make marijuana legal under state
and local law for adults twenty-
one years of age or older, and to
control the commercial production

involved while protecting public
health. The intent is to prevent
arrest and penalty for personal
possession and cultivation of
limited amounts of marijuana by
adults twenty-one years of age
or older; remove the commercial
production and distribution of
marijuana from the illicit market;
prevent revenue generated from
commerce in marijuana from going
to criminal enterprises; prevent the
distribution of marijuana to persons
under twenty-one years of age;
prevent the diversion of marijuana
to illicit markets; protect public
health by ensuring the safety of
marijuana and products containing
marijuana; and ensure the security
of marijuana facilities. To the fullest
extent possible, this section shall
be interpreted in accordance with
the purpose and intent set forth in
this section.
This section is not intended
to allow for the public use of
marijuana, driving while under the
influence of marijuana, the use of
marijuana in the workplace, or the

licenses upon a violation of this
section or a rule promulgated
pursuant to this section; and impose
any reasonable administrative
penalty authorized by this section
or any general law enacted or
rule promulgated pursuant to this
section, so long as any procedure

cure period, not less than thirty
days, prior to the suspension or
revocation, except in instances
where there is a credible and
imminent threat to public health or
public safety;
(b) Promulgate rules and

the proper regulation and control
of the cultivation, manufacture,
dispensing, and sale of marijuana
and for the enforcement of this
section so long as such rules

certificates, licenses, identification
cards, and applications as are
necessary for, or reasonably
related to, the administration of
this section or any of the rules
promulgated under this section;
(d) Require a seed-to-sale
tracking system that tracks
marijuana from either the seed
or immature plant stage until the
marijuana or marijuana-infused
product is sold to a qualified patient,
primary caregiver, or consumer to
ensure that no marijuana grown
by a medical marijuana cultivation
facility, comprehensive marijuana
cultivation facility, or microbusiness
wholesale facility, or manufactured
by a medical marijuana-infused
products manufacturing facility, a
comprehensive marijuana-infused
products manufacturing facility,
or a microbusiness wholesale
facility is sold or otherwise
transferred to a consumer,
qualified patient, or primary
caregiver except by a medical
marijuana dispensary facility, a
comprehensive dispensary facility,
or a microbusiness dispensary
facility. The department shall certify

its transportation standards to
transport marijuana and marijuana-
infused products to or from a

another entity with a transportation
certification, or any entity licensed
pursuant to paragraph (g) of this
subdivision. The department
shall develop or adopt from any
other governmental agency such
safety and security standards
as are reasonably necessary for
the transportation and temporary
storage of marijuana and
marijuana-infused products. Any
entity licensed or certified pursuant
to this section shall be allowed

emergency rules specific to the
licensing, regulation, and oversight
of marijuana microbusiness
facilities;

annually a publicly available
report accounting to the governor,
the general assembly, and the

of all responsibilities assigned
to the department under this
section. The report shall provide
aggregate data for each type of
license (medical, comprehensive,
and microbusiness) and
facility (dispensary, cultivation,
manufacturers, wholesalers.) Only
non-identifying information shall be
provided regarding any marijuana
facility owners;
(i) Establish a lottery selection
process to select comprehensive
facility licenses, certificate
holders, marijuana microbusiness
licensees, but not medical facility
licensees that are converting to

eligible for any license lottery
selection process, an owner cannot
have pleaded guilty or been found
guilty of a disqualifying felony, as
that term is defined in subsection
of this section.
(j) In developing a lottery
selection process to award licenses
and certificates, the department
may consult or contract with other

expertise.

prerequisite to participation
in a comprehensive license
lottery, every comprehensive
license applicant shall submit
to the department a voluntary
plan to promote and encourage
participation in the regulated
marijuana industry by people
from communities that have been
disproportionately impacted by
marijuana prohibition. The plan
may include strategies to address
geographical defined communities
that have been disproportionately
impacted by marijuana prohibition;
provide for ownership opportunities
for disproportionately impacted
communities; and provide for
employment, supplier, and vendor
opportunities for individuals and
businesses in communities that
have been disproportionately
impacted by marijuana prohibition.

plan shall be enforceable by the
department.

marijuana that may be purchased
in a single transaction provided that
limit is not less than three ounces
of dried, unprocessed marijuana,
or its equivalent.
(n) Regulate the advertising and
promotion of marijuana sales, but
any such regulation shall be no
more stringent than comparable
state regulations on the advertising
and promotion of alcohol sales.
(2) The department shall
issue, at a minimum, the same
number of comprehensive
marijuana cultivation facility
licenses as were authorized or
issued for medical marijuana
cultivation facilities under section

comprehensive marijuana-infused
products manufacturing facility
licenses as were authorized or
issued for medical marijuana-
infused products manufacturing
facilities under section 1 of
this Article as of December
7, 2022, the same number
of comprehensive marijuana
dispensary facility licenses
with the same congressional
distribution requirements as were
authorized or issued for medical
marijuana dispensary facilities
under section 1 of this Article as of
December 7, 2022, in addition to
the minimum number of marijuana
microbusiness licenses as are
required under this section. The
department may lift or ease any
limit on the number of licensees or
certificate holders in order to meet
the demand for marijuana in the
state and to ensure a competitive
market while also preventing an
over-concentration of marijuana
facilities within the boundaries of
any particular local government.
(3) If comprehensive facility
licenses become available because
the number of total issued licenses
in any respective category falls
below the minimum required under
this section or the department
determines more comprehensive
facility licenses are necessary
to meet the requirements of
subdivision (2) of this subsection,
the department shall award by
lottery at least fifty percent of any
new licenses available to satisfy the
minimum requirement to applicants
who are owners of a marijuana
microbusiness facility that has
been in operation for at least one
year and is in good standing with
the department and is otherwise
qualified for the license.
(4) The department may issue
any rules or emergency rules
necessary for the implementation
and enforcement of this section and
to ensure the right to, availability,
and safe use of marijuana by
consumers. In developing such
rules or emergency rules, the
department may consult or
contract with other public agencies.

emergency rules necessary to
carry out the mandates of this
section, the department shall issue

The licensee may choose to
challenge any penalties imposed
by the department through the
administrative hearing commission,
or its successor entity. Pursuant
to section 536.100, RSMo, or
its successor provisions, any
licensee who has exhausted all
administrative remedies provided
by law and who is aggrieved by a
final decision in a contested case is
entitled to judicial review;
(j) Reporting and transmittal of
tax payments required under this
section;
(k) Authorization for the
department of revenue to have

be proprietary prior to submitting
it to the department. Proprietary
business information shall include
sales information, financial records,
tax returns, credit reports, license
applications, cultivation information
unrelated to product safety, testing
results unrelated to product safety,
site security information and plans,
and individualized consumer
information. The presence of
proprietary business information

have the authority to promulgate,
apply, or enforce any rule
or regulation that is unduly

5. Local Control.
(1) (a) Except as provided in this
subsection, a local government
may prohibit the operation of all
microbusiness dispensary facilities
or comprehensive marijuana
dispensary facilities regulated
under this section from being
located within its jurisdiction either
through referral of a ballot question
to the voters by the governing body
or through citizen petition, provided
that citizen petitions are otherwise
generally authorized by the laws
of the local government. Such a
ballot question shall be voted on
only during the regularly scheduled
general election held on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday
in November of a presidential
election year, starting in 2024,
thereby minimizing additional local
governmental cost or expense. A
citizen petition to put before the
voters a ballot question prohibiting
microbusiness dispensary facilities
or comprehensive marijuana
dispensary facilities shall be
signed by at least five percent
of the qualified voters in the area
proposed to be subject to the
prohibition, determined on the
basis of the number of votes cast
for governor in such locale at the
last gubernatorial election held
prior to the filing of the petition. The
local government shall count the
petition signatures and give legal
notice of the election as provided
by applicable law. Denial of ballot
access shall be subject to judicial
review.
(b) Whether submitted by the
governing body or by citizen’s
petition, the question shall be
submitted in the following form:
“Shall (insert name of local
government) ban all non-medical
microbusiness dispensary facilities
and comprehensive marijuana
dispensary facilities from being
located within (insert name of local
government and, where applicable,
its “unincorporated areas”) and
forgo any additional related local
tax revenue? ( ) Yes ( ) No.” If at
least sixty percent of the votes cast
on the question by the qualified
voters voting thereon are in favor
of the question, then the ban shall
go into effect as provided by law.
If a question receives less than the
required sixty percent, then the
jurisdiction shall have no power to
ban non-medical microbusiness
dispensary facilities or
comprehensive marijuana facilities
regulated under this section, unless
voters at a subsequent general
election on the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in ovember of a
presidential election year approve
a ban on non-medical retail
marijuana facilities submitted to
them by the governing body or by
citizen petition.
(2) (a) A local government may
repeal an existing ban by its own
ordinance or by a vote of the
people, either through referral of
a ballot question to the voters by
the governing body or through
citizen petition, provided that
citizen petitions are otherwise
generally authorized by the laws of
the local government. In the case
of a referral of a ballot question
by the governing body or citizen
petition to repeal an existing ban,
the question shall be voted on only
during the regularly scheduled
general election held on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in
November of a presidential election
year. A citizen petition to put
before the voters a ballot question
repealing an existing ban shall
be signed by at least five percent
of the qualified voters in the area
subject to the ban, determined on
the basis of the number of votes
cast for governor in such locale at
the last gubernatorial election held
prior to the filing of the petition. The
local government shall count the
petition signatures and give legal
notice of the election as provided
by applicable law. Denial of ballot
access shall be subject to judicial
review.
(b) Whether submitted by the
governing body or by citizen’s
petition, the question shall be
submitted in the following form:
“Shall (insert name of local
government) allow non-medical
microbusiness dispensary facilities
and comprehensive marijuana
dispensary facilities to be located
within (insert name of local
government and where applicable,
its “unincorporated areas”) as
regulated by state law? () Yes ( )
No.” If a majority of the votes cast
on the question by the qualified
voters voting thereon are in favor
of the question, then the ban shall
be repealed.
(3) The only local government
ordinances and regulations that
are binding on a marijuana facility
are those of the local government
where the marijuana facility is
located.
(4) Unless allowed by the local
government, no new marijuana
facility shall be initially sited within
one thousand feet of any then-
existing elementary or secondary
school, child day-care center, or
church. In the case of a freestanding
facility, the distance between the
facility and the school, daycare, or
church shall be measured from the
external wall of the facility structure
closest in proximity to the school,
daycare, or church to the closest
point of the property line of the
school, daycare, or church. If the
school, daycare, or church is part of
a larger structure, such as an office
building or strip mall, the distance
shall be measured to the entrance
or exit of the school, daycare, or
church closest in proximity to the
facility. In the case of a facility that
is part of a larger structure, such as
an office building or strip mall, the
distance between the facility and
the school, daycare, or church shall
be measured from the property line
of the school, daycare, or church to
the facility’s entrance or exit closest
in proximity to the school, daycare,
or church. If the school, daycare, or
church is part of a larger structure,
such as an office building or
strip mall, the distance shall be
measured to the entrance or exit
of the school, daycare, or church
closest in proximity to the facility.
Measurements shall be made
along the shortest path between
the demarcation points that can be
lawfully traveled by foot.
(5) Except as otherwise
provided in this subsection, no
local government shall prohibit
marijuana facilities or entities with
a transportation certification either
expressly or through the enactment
of ordinances or regulations that
make their operation unduly
burdensome in the jurisdiction.
However, local governments may
enact ordinances or regulations
not in conflict with this section, or
with regulations enacted pursuant
to this section, governing the time,
place, and manner of operation
of such facilities in the locality. A
local government may establish
civil penalties for violation of an
ordinance or regulations governing
the time, place, and manner of
operation of a marijuana facility
or entity holding a transportation
certification that may operate in
such locality.
(6) Local governments may
enact ordinances or regulations not
in conflict with this section, or with
regulations enacted pursuant to
this section, governing:
(a) the time and place where
marijuana may be smoked in public
areas within the locality; and
(b) the consumption of
marijuana-infused products within
designated areas, including the
preparation of culinary dishes or
beverages by local restaurants for
on-site consumption on the same
day it is prepared.
6. Taxation and Reporting.
(1) A tax shall be levied upon the
retail sale of non-medical marijuana
sold to consumers at marijuana
facilities licensed pursuant to this
B5
section within the state. The tax
shall be at a rate of six percent of
the retail price. The tax shall be
collected by each licensed retail
marijuana facility and paid to the
department of revenue. After

of the total tax collected or its
actual collection costs, whichever
is less, amounts generated by
the marijuana tangible personal
property retail sales tax levied in
this section shall be deposited
by the department of revenue
into the “Veterans, Health, and
Community Reinvestment Fund”
created under this subsection.
Licensed entities making non-
medical retail sales within the state
shall be allowed approved credit
for returns provided the tax was
paid on the returned item and the
purchaser was given the refund or
credit. This tax shall not apply to
medical marijuana dispensed to
a registered qualifying patient or
caregiver.
(2) There is hereby created in the
state treasury the “Veterans, Health,
and Community Reinvestment
Fund” which shall consist of
taxes and fees collected under
this section. The state treasurer
shall be custodian of the fund,
and he or she shall invest monies
in the fund in the same manner
as other funds are invested. Any
interest and moneys earned on
such investments shall be credited
to the fund. Notwithstanding any
other provision of law, any monies
remaining in the fund at the end of
a biennium shall not revert to the
credit of the general revenue fund.
The commissioner of administration
is authorized to make cash
operating transfers to the fund
for purposes of meeting the cash
requirements of the department in
advance of it receiving application,
licensing, and tax revenue, with
any such transfers to be repaid
as provided by law. The fund shall
be a dedicated fund and shall be
distributed as follows:
(a) First, as determined by
appropriation, to the department
an amount necessary for the
department to carry out its
responsibilities under this section,
including repayment of any cash
operating transfers, payments
made through contract or
agreement with other state and
public agencies necessary to carry
out this section, and a reserve fund
to maintain a reasonable working
cash balance for the purpose of
carrying out this section;
(b) Second, as determined by
appropriation, to governmental
entities in amounts necessary for
carrying out responsibilities in the
expungement of criminal history
records under this section;
(c) Next, the remaining fund
balance shall be distributed in
thirds as follows:
(i) One-third of the remainder
of the fund balance shall be
transferred to the Missouri
veterans commission and allied
state agencies, as determined by
appropriation, exclusively for health
care and other services for military
veterans and their dependent
families;
(ii) One-third of the remainder of
the fund balance to the department
to provide grants to agencies
and not-for-profit organi ations,
whether government or community-
based, to increase access to
evidence-based low-barrier drug
addiction treatment, prioritizing
medically proven treatment and
overdose prevention and reversal
methods and public or private
treatment options with an emphasis
on reintegrating recipients into
their local communities, to support
overdose prevention education,
and to support job placement,
housing, and counseling for those
with substance use disorders.
Agencies and organizations serving
populations with the highest rates
of drug-related overdose shall be
prioritized to receive the grants;
and
(iii) One-third of the remainder
of the fund balance to the Missouri
public defender system. Any
moneys credited to the Missouri
public defender system shall be
used only for legal assistance for
low-income Missourians, shall not
be diverted to any other purpose.
(d) All monies from the taxes and
fees authorized hereunder shall
provide new and additional funding
for the purposes enumerated
above and shall not replace
existing funding.
(e) The unexpended balance
existing in the fund shall be exempt
from the provisions of section
33.080, RSMo, or its successor
provisions, relating to the transfer
of unexpended balances to the
general revenue fund.
(3) For all retail sales of
marijuana, a record shall be kept
by the seller of all amounts and
types of marijuana involved in the
sale and the total amount of money
involved in the sale, including
itemizations, taxes collected,
and grand total sale amounts. All
such records shall be kept on the
premises in a readily available
format and be made available
for review by the department and
the department of revenue upon
request. Such records shall be
retained for five years from the date
of the sale.
(4) The tax levied pursuant to this
subsection is separate from and in
addition to any general state and
local sales and use taxes that apply
to retail sales, which shall continue
to be collected and distributed as
provided by general law.
(5) Pursuant to Article III,
section 49 of this Constitution,
the governing body of any local
government is authorized to
impose, by ordinance or order, an
additional sales tax in an amount
not to exceed three percent on all
tangible personal property retail
sales of adult use marijuana sold
in such political subdivision. The
tax authorized by this paragraph
shall be in addition to any and all
other tangible personal property
retail sales taxes allowed by law,
except that no ordinance or order
imposing a tangible personal
property retail sales tax under the
provisions of this paragraph shall
be effective unless the governing
body of the political subdivision
submits to the voters of the political
subdivision, at a municipal, county
or state general, primary or special
election, a proposal to authorize
the governing body of the political
subdivision to impose a tax. Any
B6 WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2022 | WRIGHT COUNTY JOURNAL
additional local retail sales tax shall
be collected pursuant to general
laws for the collection of local sales
taxes.
(6) Except as authorized in this
Article, no additional taxes shall be
imposed on the sale of marijuana.
(7) The fees and taxes provided
for in this section shall be fully
enforceable notwithstanding any
other provision in this Constitution
purportedly prohibiting or restricting
the taxes and fees provided for
herein.
(8) For taxpayers authorized to
do business pursuant to this Article,
the amount that would have been
deducted in the computation of
federal taxable income pursuant
to 26 U.S.C. Section 280E of the
Internal Revenue Code as in effect
on January l, 2021, or successor
provisions, but is disallowed
because cannabis is a controlled
substance under federal law, shall
be subtracted from the taxpayer’s
federal adjusted gross income,
in determining the taxpayer’s
Missouri adjusted gross income.
7. Additional Protections.
(1) A marijuana testing facility
shall not be subject to civil or
criminal prosecution under Missouri
