JEFFERSON CITY - The House Emerging Issues Committee will discuss legalizing medical marijuana upon adjournment of the House.
Under the legislation, HB2213, the state could issue up to 30 licenses for medical cannabis centers and 30 licenses for medical cannabis cultivation and production facilities. The licenses would cost $12,500 a piece, and those wishing to get one would have to provide proof they already have $500,000 in assets. Doctors could prescribe medical marijuana for illnesses such as cancer, glaucoma, HIV, Parkinson’s disease and others.
Lawmakers considered the bill last year before ultimately taking a pass.
