 Nearly one in ten new jobs in Missouri are from the state’s recently opened medical marijuana industy. The state’s program already has nearly 170,000 patients and certified caregivers. And retail sales are expected to surpass $200 million for this past year. The executive director of The Missouri Medical Cannabis Trade Association (otherwise known as MoCannTrade), Andrew Mullins, said that Missouri's medical cannabis business is delivering on its promise to not only provide safe, inexpensive, and convenient access for patients but also to help infuse the state's economy with large investments and millions in additional tax income. This November there are three cannabis legalization related measures up for vote in Missouri. If any one of them passes, there will be even more job growth and tax revenue for the state and residents, thanks to cannabis.
