Missouri has already raked in nearly $3.9 million in fees for marijuana medical dispensaries from 543 applications statewide as of this week.
Most of the marijuana business applications are concentrated in the St. Louis and Kansas City areas, with each receiving nearly 90 applications to open marijuana dispensaries.
The state won’t accept formal applications until Aug. 3 but has allowed groups to pay the associated fees—$10,000 to grow marijuana, $6,000 to make or sell it, as well as to sell infused products.
