Adults ages 21 and older now can legally buy marijuana for recreational use in Missouri.
Forrest Wilson, a 23-year-old Columbia resident, said he found out that stores began selling marijuana recreationally and “wanted to give it a shot.” He bought a pre-rolled joint filled with a strain called biscotti.
Almost all of the state's medical marijuana dispensaries applied to sell recreational pot, according to Lisa Cox, spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Senior Services. One of the company's first customers Friday was Gregory Williams, 55, of St. Louis, who welcomed the legalization of marijuana.
Teresa Gooch, 62, of Troy, Missouri, said she recently had a medical procedure and uses marijuana for pain relief. She said it's “amazing” to be able to go to a store and try different strains to see what works best.If the agency does not approve or deny licenses by Friday, dispensaries that previously only sold medical marijuana will automatically be permitted to sell recreational pot as well.
