Amendment 3 Background
On November 8, 2022, Missouri voters approved Amendment 3, a ballot initiative that sought to amend Missouri’s constitution and legalize recreational marijuana. Amendment 3 not only provides for the legalized sale of recreational marijuana but also addresses personal use regulations, expunges non-violent marijuana-related criminal records for offenses, authorizes cities to impose a sales tax with voter approval on the sale of recreational marijuana, and establishes regulations for consumers and businesses.
