A trio of research firms who contend Missouri is a poster child for success in the cannabis industry hope to win a contract to study the state's market closer.
"As it relates to cannabis markets, Missouri is pretty famously the model to follow," said Mackenzie Slade, CEO and owner of New York-based Cannabis Public Policy Consulting. "So I'm very interested in doing a super deep dive."
In March, the state issued a request for proposals looking for a vendor to conduct a cannabis market and economic impact study. Currently, Missouri has issued nearly 400 cannabis licenses to operate full-scale cultivation and manufacturing facilities and dispensaries. The state will also eventually have 144 microbusiness licenses, which are limited in size and scope and meant to benefit disadvantaged business owners.
