Marijuana advocates celebrate win from Missouri's highest court
SUMMARY: The Missouri Supreme Court ruled 6-1 against stacking local marijuana taxes, allowing only one local government—either city or county—to collect a 3% cannabis tax. This ruling protects marijuana customers from paying an extra $3 million monthly in double taxation. The decision, hailed as a major win by the Missouri Cannabis Trade Association and legal representatives, upholds voter intent and prevents unfair local tax overlaps. Some counties may need to refund the extra collected taxes, though the process is unclear. Despite disappointment from officials like St. Charles County Executive Steve Ehlmann, counties can still tax marijuana in unincorporated or untaxed areas.
Marijuana advocates are celebrating Tuesday’s ruling from the Missouri Supreme Court that prohibits local governments from stacking additional taxes.
