MISSOURI CANNABIS SALES EXPECTED TO SURPASS $1.3 BILLION IN 2023

COLUMBIA — Missouri dispensaries sold $1.2 billion of legal marijuana during the
first 11 months of 2023, according to Missouri Department of Cannabis
Regulation. 

Despite only having the medical sales of cannabis in January, MoCannTrade, the
cannabis trade association in Missouri, said it expects that total sales will
surpass $1.3 billion for 2023. 

For comparison, in neighboring Illinois, medical and adult-use sales totaled
just over $1 billion during its first year of legalization in 2020. 



In November 2022, Missouri became the first state to expunge past, non-violent
marijuana charges by the vote of the people. This year, cannabis offenses have
automatically been expunged, though some counties are behind on their deadlines.



Part of the 6% sales tax Missourians pay on adult-use cannabis sales fund those
automatic expungements. 

Missouri has now created 18,843 jobs available in the cannabis industry compared
to only 9,838 jobs before the legalization vote in 2022, according to the trade
association.
