Missouri's cannabis industry was sold to voters as opportunity for all. Instead, it became a rigged game — license caps, predatory contracts, and insider deals locking out everyday Missourians. We're here to change that.
Missouri's marijuana program was built with hard license caps and opaque rules that concentrated power in the hands of a few well-connected players. The result is a bureaucratic system that protects incumbents, squeezes out small operators, and fails the consumers and patients it was meant to serve.
The same bad actors appear again and again — in the lottery applications, in the contracts, in the trade associations that write the rules. Missouri voters approved cannabis reform. They didn't approve this.
Well-connected investors recruited eligible applicants, then handed them contracts that stripped profit and control — funneling licenses back to out-of-state money.
License caps and lottery rationing create monopoly pricing, kill competition, and leave patients and consumers paying more for less.
Marijuana and hemp operate under two incompatible regimes, confusing consumers, punishing small farmers, and letting the biggest players arbitrage the gap.
Rule-making happens after the damage is done. Investigations drag on. Revocations come years late. The insiders move on to the next round.
Missourians for a Single Market is a political action committee dedicated to replacing Missouri's rigged cannabis bureaucracy with a simple, unified system that treats cannabis like alcohol or tobacco — regulated, tested, age-restricted, and open to anyone who wants to compete honestly.
We reject the idea that a handful of insiders should own Missouri's cannabis economy. We believe small farmers, small retailers, patients, and consumers all deserve a market that works for them. One set of rules. One level playing field. One market — not a protected club.
Merge cannabis and hemp into a single, coherent regulatory framework. End the turf wars. Treat the plant like the adult consumer product it is — safe, tested, clearly labeled, age-restricted.
Remove the artificial license caps that exist to protect incumbents. If you meet the standards, you get to compete. Real opportunity for small businesses, farmers, and entrepreneurs across Missouri.
Transparent rulemaking. Real enforcement against predatory contracts and insider self-dealing. Public reporting on who holds licenses, who profits, and how tax dollars are spent.
This fight takes resources. Every contribution funds the research, advocacy, and political muscle it takes to take on entrenched interests and build a cannabis market that actually works for Missourians.
