Both the state and Congress have taken small steps closer to legalizing recreational pot.
An effort to legalize adult-use marijuana has cleared a step towards getting on the statewide ballot. The campaign called Legal Missouri 2022 says it has more than 325,000 signatures ready for Sunday’s deadline. The Sec of State will require at least 180,000 valid signatures.
