More than half of Missouri’s medical marijuana retailers, cultivators and manufacturers have applied to sell products in the state’s newly established adult-use market.
“Well over half of the 370-plus licensees we have operating now have applied” for recreational permits, Lyndall Fraker, who leads the state’s MMJ program and is overseeing the adult-use market on an interim basis, told Springfield TV station KOLR.

The process will be more of a simple review than a comprehensive renewal process.
“We plan to review as the (Missouri) constitution asks us to do, and we certainly anticipate all of them being approved,” Fraker said.
Under the state constitution, the Department of Health and Senior Services has until Feb. 6 to approve those applications, but Fraker signaled that approvals could come in January.
