MoCannTrade (Missouri Cannabis Trade Association)

As the Voice of Trade for the Missouri Cannabis Industry, we support rescheduling cannabis to a Schedule III controlled substance, to recognize cannabis as medicine, allow for greater research of marijuana, and end the overly-burdensome, punitive 280E tax code.

MoCannTrade could not serve as the Voice For Trade in The Missouri Cannabis Industry without the support of our Platinum Members, who provide an invaluable investment in our emerging industry, strengthening our unified industry voice and assuring active and valued participation in the successful implementation of Missouri’s cannabis programs.
