Missouri State Representative Ron Hicks refiles the Marijuana Freedom Act for the Special Session of the 2022 General Assembly

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Missouri State Representative Ron Hicks (R-St. Charles) has refiled his Marijuana Freedom Act for the Special Session of the Missouri General Assembly.

Representative Hicks said “Although Governor Parson has not yet expanded the Special Session call to include marijuana legalization, it is my hope that legislative action on my Marijuana Freedom Act will incentivize the Governor to support passage of this legislation.”

“The Governor, along with tens of thousands of Missourians, have expressed that the Amendment 3 campaign is a disaster. Missourians don’t want their Constitution used to sustain monopolies in the marijuana market, and they don’t want criminal or civil penalties in the Constitution. Passing the Marijuana Freedom Act will ensure that this corrupt initiative is rejected by the voters.”
