Missouri is also [planning for a big roll](https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/more-than-3-million-allotted-for-missouri-medical-marijuana-program/1945876585)out as Governor Parson allocated $3 million to the medical marijuana program. To date, the state[received](https://health.mo.gov/safety/medical-marijuana/index.php) over 481 pre-filed license applications and fees totaling $3,470,000. Licenses will be formally accepted on August 3, 2019. Our data shows that, since the beginning of March, at least 25 cities in these states discussed allowing medical marijuana or have adopted an ordinance. The growth in the number of cities considering medical marijuana is noticeable and encouraging for the industry overall. Unlike cities on the East and West Coasts, the ordinances are generally simple, offer low fees, no caps on licenses and fewer operating requirements. These business friendly towns offer a license opportunity at a lower cost and regulatory risk. ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fhs.getobedio.com%2Fblog%2F2019%2F04%2F23%2F2019-4-23-missouri-and-oklahoma-cities-adopt-business-friendly-medical-marijuana-rules](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fhs.getobedio.com%2Fblog%2F2019%2F04%2F23%2F2019-4-23-missouri-and-oklahoma-cities-adopt-business-friendly-medical-marijuana-rules) ## Keep reading ### [California Ballot Measure Local Municipalities California voters will decide 118 local tax measures and $8.07 billion in bond requests on November 3](https://hs.getobedio.com/blog/california-voters-will-decide-118-local-tax-measures-and-8.07-billion-in-bond-requests-on-november-3) ### [Local Ordinance Zoning Ordinance Development Data Federal Realty Asks La Mesa to Approve a 165,000-Square-Foot Bass Pro Shops Where Macy's Stood at Grossmont Center](https://hs.getobedio.com/blog/federal-realty-asks-la-mesa-to-approve-a-165000-square-foot-bass-pro-shops-where-macys-stood-at-grossmont-center) [![Obedio your municipal data source](https://hs.getobedio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/google%20workspace-1.png?width=100&height=41&name=google%20workspace-1.png "Obedio your municipal data source")](https://getobedio.com) Obedio's business intelligence platform provides data and insights from over 25,000 municipalities, enabling retail, manufacturing, finance, real estate, and government clients to make informed decisions, assess risk, and identify opportunities. **Data Source & Liability Disclaimer:** The data presented on this website is aggregated from various official government and public entities ("The Original Government Sources").
