The Topic at the October 2, 2018, 6 P.M. Work Session was about legalization of Medical Ma*****na in the State of Missouri. There will be three separate initiatives, concerning this issue on the November 6, 2018 ballot. The City Council intends to be proactive on this topic. The three initiatives are-1.Amendment two which would allow physicians to prescribe medical ma*****na for patents with certain medical conditions and allow permit patients to grow their own ma*****na plants in a facility registered with the State. The permit would carry a $100 license fee. The amendment 2 measure would carry a 4% sales tax with some of the revenue earmarked for veteran's programs. Regulation would be conducted by the State Dept. of Health/Senior Services. 2,- Amendment three-which would carry a 15% tax, And 3,-Proposition C,which carry's a 2% tax. It's unclear what will happen if Prop. C (state Law) and Constitutional Amendment 2 &/or 3 pass, but if Amendment 2 & 3 both pass, then the Amendment with the most votes will win. Keep in mind that cannabis remains an illegal drug @ the Federal Level, regardless of the Nov. 6 election results.
