Hemp Knightz CannaNews™ Missouri News Missouri Advocates Concerned About Marijuana 'Microbusiness' Eligibility Rules Advocates in Missouri are expressing concern that the state's new cannabis regulations could exclude many victims of the War on Drugs from obtaining microbusiness licenses. The Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) recently released a list of ZIP codes considered to have high incarceration rates for marijuana-related offenses, but none are in North St. Louis, where about half of the state's Black population resides. Critics argue that the state's data, which only goes back 20 years, does not accurately reflect the impact of marijuana criminalization on Black communities. In response to these concerns, the DHSS has issued an eligibility variance, allowing applicants to provide other documentation to show eligibility. https://www.marijuanamoment.net/missouri-advocates-worry-that-marijuana-microbusiness-eligibilit...
