Constitutional Amendment Two:
A "yes" vote will amend the Missouri Constitution to allow the use of marijuana for medical purposes under state laws. This amendment does not change federal law, which makes marijuana possession, sale and cultivation a federal offense. This amendment creates regulations and licensing procedures for medical marijuana facilities: dispensary, cultivation, testing and marijuana-infused product manufacturing facilities. This amendment creates licensing fees for such facilities. This amendment will impose a four-percent tax on the retail sale of marijuana for medical purposes by dispensary facilities. The funds from license fees and tax will be used by the Missouri Veterans Commission for health and care services for military veterans, and by the Department of Health and Senior Services to administer the program to license/certify and regulate marijuana and marijuana facilities.
A "no" vote will not amend the Missouri Constitution as to the use of marijuana.
If passed, this measure will impose a four-percent retail sales tax on marijuana for medical purposes.
