Medical marijuana dispensaries will be able to apply to “convert” their licenses to comprehensive ones starting Thursday. Lisa Cox, spokeswoman for DHSS, has said the state expects to begin the process of converting those licenses when regulations are filed.
The state will be forced to take action on conversion requests submitted Thursday by Feb. 6. Cox has said once the requests are approved, the state anticipates that dispensaries will be able to open their doors to everyone 21 and older.
John Payne, campaign manager for Legal Missouri 2022, said marijuana sales are only allowed “within the regulated system,” but he said simple possession will be legal starting Thursday.
“The decriminalization aspects do not hinge on licensed sales existing,” he said.
The state’s more than 200,000 medical marijuana patients will be able to buy more marijuana starting Thursday.
