Which Weed Infused Edibles are out of bounds as of 9/1 in Mo.
Starting next week (Sept 1) in the state of Missouri per Gov. Mike Parson’s executive order 24-10, foods containing psychoactive cannabis can’t be manufactured, sold or delivered in the Show-Me state –unless-- they come from a state approved source.
The e/o does not infringe upon article 14 of the Missouri constitution which the voters approved for medicinal marijuana (below certain amounts) for residents, but it does begin to address details in Missouri's law that weren't included or detailed in the amendment.
Instead Gov. Parson’s 24-10 focuses on unregulated cannabinoid compounds with Delta-8 and Delta-10, THC-O, THCV and THCP amongst others that are infused into edible candy products that look like readily available and common candy products on most any convenience store or grocery store shelf.
These look-alikes to popular commercial candies have been available for purchase at vape shops or smoke shops and other businesses that also typically carry CBD, CBN and CBC products (which don’t have psychoactive side-affects).
Missouri’s article 14 allows for production of cannabis for medicinal purposes from approved and licensed growers whose numbers are limited, also the sales of cannabis as a medicinal product are to be from state approved and licensed dispensaries whose numbers are also limited.
Over the last six plus years there’s been a big upswing in Missouri kids under the age of five who have landed in the emergency room due to cannabis poisoning.
As the states relationship with marijuana for medicinal use and the ongoing conversation of expansion into recreational use continues it’s important to know what is legal and what isn’t.
