Southern Missouri Lawmaker is Trying to Make Recreational Marijuana Legal

(Missourinet) – Is Missouri ready to allow marijuana for recreational use…not just as a medicine?

State Representative Ron Hicks, of St. Charles has filed House Bill 27-04 which is called the “Cannabis Freedom Act.”

Not only would it legalize marijuana for adults, the Republican’s bill would also release all non-violent marijuana offenders from jails and prisons and allow for some prior offenders clear their records.

Representative Hicks says the measure is the product of input from many different stakeholders.
