The latest contribution, made last week, brings the total medical marijuana funds transferred so far this fiscal year to $13 million. These figures do not include any revenue from Missouri’s adult-use marijuana program, which is tracked separately.
Under Article XIV of the Missouri Constitution, the state is required to allocate proceeds from its medical marijuana program to support veterans’ services. Funds are collected through license and application fees, as well as taxes on medical marijuana sales.
Since launching the medical program in 2018 and retail sales beginning in 2020, Missouri has steadily expanded access and seen increasing revenues, with adult-use marijuana joining the market in 2023.
The Department of Health and Senior Services maintains a publicly available Transfer History Dashboard where residents can view the full history of marijuana fund transfers.
