Missouri’s legal cannabis scene is hitting some massive milestones. In 2025 alone, the program pulled in a record $255.57 million, which is wild considering the state originally thought they’d only be seeing about $40 million a year. Most of that—$151.72 million—went straight to the state, while local towns with dispensaries split the remaining $103.84 million.
All those tax dollars are piling up because people are buying a lot of product; Missouri is actually on track to hit $5 BILLION in total sales very soon. Out of that $5 billion in customer spending, the government has been able to pocket roughly $750 MILLION in total taxes since the program started. This isn’t just sitting in a bank account, either—it’s doing real work, like the $105 million that has already been poured into healthcare for Missouri veterans. Read the full story.
Too bad we can’t say the same thing for Tennessee.
