Missouri Amendment 3 would legalize marijuana use. Ballot measure detailsWhile the use of medical marijuana was legalized in the state in 2018, Amendment 3, the Marijuana Legalization Initiative, would legalize personal marijuana use for adults over the age of 21. Several groups support it, including the ACLU of Missouri, Empower Missouri, Missouri AFL-CIO, Missouri Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, MoCannTrade, NAACP St. Louis City, NORML KC, and Reale Justice Network, according to Ballotpedia. "Missouri shouldn't legalize marijuana without automatically expunging thousands of criminal records for marijuana offenses that will soon be legal," John Bowman, president of the St. Louis County NAACP, told the Missouri Times. Mike Parson, State Rep. Ashley Bland Manlove, Missouri Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, Missouri Catholic Conference, Missouri Constitutional Conservatives PAC, and Missouri NAACP all oppose the measure, according to Ballotpedia.
