JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Legal marijuana dispensaries could begin selling to customers before early February, faster than originally expected, a spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Senior Services said Friday.
Under Missouri’s new constitutional amendment legalizing marijuana, approved by voters Tuesday, medical marijuana companies will be able to apply Dec. 8 to convert their facilities for “comprehensive” sales.
The state is required to take action within 60 days, making Feb. 6 the date the state would be required to approve conversion applications submitted on Dec. 8.
