Over $100 million in marijuana sales were recorded in Missouri during first month of legalization
IN PERSON OR NOT. AND THEY’RE OFF. SINCE LAST WE SPOKE, RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA SALES OPENED IN MISSOURI. BRING IN CUSTOMERS TO DISPENSARIES IN DROVES ACROSS THE STATE. AND NOW ANYONE 21 AND UP, NO MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE, CAN WALK IN AND BUY WEED. MISSOURI SURE ROLLED OUT THE GREEN CARPET IN JUST THE FIRST THREE DAYS FROM FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. LOOK AT THIS. RECREATIONAL SALES HIT EIGHT AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS FACTOR IN MEDICAL MARIJUANA SALES, TOP 12.7 MILLION. AGAIN, THAT’S IN ONE WEEKEND. AND THE NUMBERS ARE ONLY PROJECTED TO GROW. IN FACT, THE MISSOURI CANNABIS TRADE ASSOCIATION FORECAST SALES COULD TOP $1.3 BILLION BY 2026. THAT’S A LOT OF GREEN. AND ALL THIS NEW FOOT TRAFFIC COMES AS BUSINESSES ALSO WORK TO SERVE CUSTOMERS WITH MEDICAL MARIJUANA CARDS. EARLIER THIS PAST WEEK, I STOPPED BY DISPENSARY TO SEE HOW THE ROLLOUT IS GOING SO FAR. I’M HERE AT PROPER CANNABIS IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, WITH MEGHAN WILLIAMS, THE GENERAL MANAGER. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING US. YOU’VE HAD A WEEK UNDER YOUR BELT. THIS IS A BIG CHANGE. CAME EARLIER THAN YOU ANTICIPATED. HOW’S BUSINESS BEEN SO FAR?…
