Proposes a constitutional amendment relating to the advertising and promotion of marijuana sales
This constitutional amendment (HJR 72) proposes to legalize medical marijuana use in Missouri under specific conditions. It would allow state-licensed physicians and nurse practitioners to recommend marijuana for treating serious illnesses, granting patients the right to discuss medical benefits with providers and use marijuana under medical supervision. The amendment creates legal protections for patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers against civil/criminal penalties for medical use, while explicitly stating it does not change laws governing recreational marijuana use or public consumption. It defines key terms like "medical marijuana," "dispensary facilities," and "medical use" to establish a regulated framework for medical access, excluding nonmedical purposes.
