If the Court of Appeals ruling had been allowed to stand, Missouri argued it would have been forced to award marijuana licenses to applicants who might not have even gotten the necessary scores in 2019.

Delta-8 THC products — including a large variety of drinks that are popular at bars and available at gas stations throughout the state — can be sold in Missouri stores because they are made from hemp, which is federally legal.

Testimony and evidence presented during this week’s appeal hearing showed state regulators were aware Delta Extraction was using hemp-derived THC long before its products were recalled.

All together, $19.3 million will be going to support veterans this year: $13 million from medical marijuana sales and $6.3 million from adult-use.

Three companies — one from Michigan, one from Arizona and one from Missouri — appear connected to 43% of the social equity applications in Missouri.
