It’s a state issue. In Michigan it’s highly regulated.
Except for the homegrown provision, which is on par with alcohol.
“Marijuana has no such regulations”.
Not being able to sell to individuals under 21 isn’t a regulation?
How about packaging that about requires an electric saw to open?
Signing an agreement not to drive while using, or acknowledging that selling what you’ve purchased for a profit is grounds for prosecution isn’t regulation?
How about ringing a doorbell and being buzzed in by security, than having to show i d to shop? High taxes on recreational purchases?
Marijuana dispensaries don’t sell to just anyone or have unregulated commerce.

As has been mentioned, states with legal weed regulate it. What makes you think that isn’t the case? Even growing at home you’re limited (should you be checked out) to a certain number of plants, and at least in the case of Colorado, only so many of those plants can be in the flowering stage at any time.

My favorite packing is for edibles, here. It’s a plastic bag with a locking zipper that you can cut open with a pair of child’s scissors if need be, lol. Flower is in plastice containers with a screw off top or a squeeze top.
Have you any information in what conditions would qualify one for a medicinal license in Missouri?
In the above link, Texas allows medicinal marijuana licensure, but IIRC it is allowed for a restricted number of very specific conditions.
Will conditions be as specific in Missouri? Or can a license be issued at a doctor’s discretion?
Are medicinal licenses issued in other states acknowledged, whether in MO or elsewhere?
Missouri has specific illness listed as qualifying issues, but there is also a blanket statement for, “any chronic issues that require medication” in there as well, and the tax will be a solid 4% with 100% of that going towards Veteran organizations.
It’s so easy, there are traveling doctors who stop by for a day or two at the local head shops to pass out recommendations for 50 bucks a pop.
Patient permit is $25 annually, home cultivation license is an additional $100 annually.
First business licenses get awarded next month, first dispensaries should be open for business by March 2020.
I hope one day to see it actually legalized, not simply extorted for tax money.

In Michigan, you can grow 12 plants for your own personal use, and all that is tax free. You don’t even need a license to grow it.
How generous of the masters. lol

You need to get your ass to Mars. 
You’re not going to get better than this. People are still freaking out about that many plants.
I’d actually liked for it still to be taxed but no differently than alcohol, not like the exorbitant programs set up in Washington and California. It is ridiculous that up to 75% of a product’s value has gone to taxes by the time it’s purchased
Imagine a world so insanely stupid, that people actually support the idea of taxing a nutritious plant/food that’s been around longer than humanity.

Paying taxes on a plant with medicinal value is a whole lot better than a world where one would go to jail for a plant with medicinal and nutritional value

A sheep prefers to live on a ranch where he’ll get slaughtered and eaten by the hand that feeds him. It’s a lot easier than taking care of itself.
More like I realize it’s not possible for society to change into a libertarian utopia overnight. Especially not with all the boomers who bought into reefer madness still a sizable voting block

There’s nothing libertarian or utopian about consuming a natural plant without the need for nanny oversight. It’s just that there’s pathetic little people out there who can’t sneeze without someone else’s approval having a say in the matter.
They remind me of the animals I eat. 
That’s what I don’t get…I’m a boomer, and it amazes me that so many are against weed. Mostly because it was so weak back in those days that I can’t believe anyone thought it was bad.
I don’t think it’s supported so much, it’s just what it is. It’d be nice if it was fully legal and tax free, but this is better than nothing, at this point.
Ever notice how every single step towards legalization in every single state has passed only with the promise of taxes paid to the government?
Even the “legalization” measure making its way through the House comes with an additional tax as a condition.
What people have come to accept as, acceptable, really proves what trainable chimpanzees humans still are. lol
Well, unless you can get it legalized with no taxes I don’t know what the answer is. You might be able to get away with growing on your property if it’ still illegal. Being in the suburbs, we’ve chanced it but I was always a little uneasy about it.
