ST. LOUIS (AP) – The state of Missouri has begun the move toward medical
marijuana, naming an outgoing lawmaker to a leadership role and announcing the
start of the process for those who want to grow, make or sell marijuana
products.The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services said Wednesday it will
begin accepting application fees for cultivation, infused product manufacturing
and dispensaries on Jan. 5th. Forms are available on the health department
website. Application fees are non-refundable.
Republican state Rep. Lyndall Fraker of Marshfield will serve as director of
medical marijuana and Amy Moore will be deputy director and counsel.
Voters in November approved a constitutional amendment allowing medical
marijuana. The measure requires the health department to begin accepting patient
applications by early June.
