Missouri Lawmakers Pass Bill Crushing Hemp Industry, Banning Out-of-State Products, and Threatening Thousands of Jobs
Missouri lawmakers have approved a new bill that severely restricts the hemp industry, classifying most hemp-derived products as marijuana. This means no sales outside licensed dispensaries, effectively banning out-of-state hemp products due to in-state growth requirements. The bill, which started in the House and was amended in the Senate, now heads to Governor Mike Kehoe. The legislation could devastate over 40,000 businesses and result in massive job losses, turning a thriving side hustle into a ghost town. The bill includes age restrictions, THC limits, and privacy protections for dispensary customers. It also aligns with a federal hemp crackdown and sets a November 12th start date.
