Missouri runs a licensed adult-use market alongside its medical program, and the practical legal issues are licensing, ownership, advertising limits and the enforcement that follows any lapse in compliance. The Division of Cannabis Regulation administers the state program. It is a market where microbusiness licenses are awarded by lottery and ownership and residency rules are actively enforced.
