Missouri could certainly use more freedom, jobs and revenue!

Oregon Economist Beau Whitney was asked by the state government to estimate the impact of the legalization of ma*****na to the state’s economy. In an astounding report released today, Whitney pegs the national cannabis market at a level approaching that of the wine market and suggests there are...

For more than 40 years, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has fueled mass incarceration, wasted taxpayer money, and blocked scientific research. It’s time for change.

With one or two clicks you can let the 9 prosecutors in Missouri who are challenging our initiative petition know that they are on the wrong side of justice, on the wrong side of the will of Missouri voters, and on the wrong side of history. These are your elected public servants. Let your voice be heard.

Chris Christie wants to trample the will of the voters, kind of sounds a lot like the Springfield City Council, and cure ma*****na users with law enforcement. He is very out of step with most voters, including the Republican Party, but we must ensure that he gets defeated.

Chris Christie crusades against states’ right to regulate ma*****na, threatening Colorado and going against the principles of the Republican Party.

The News-Leader editorial board once again voices their disdain for the City Council's actions toward Springfield Cannabis Regulation.

"The message sent is that Council does not respect the petition process — or the voters."

Ma*****na settlement shows Council made legal mistake

New of the recent settlement agreement is spreading across the state. Here is an article from the Riverfront Times in St. Louis.

"The settlement with the city of Springfield was a true compromise in that nobody left totally happy with it," Payne says. "However, we are quite happy that the Council now understands that they cannot pull a fast one and expect to get away with it, and that we can now turn the page on this incident and concentrate more fully on our efforts to reform cannabis laws at the state level."

He adds: "There is a delicious irony to the fact that the city government that worked so hard to attack and disrespect our efforts will now be one of our largest contributors.

A coalition of groups working toward ma*****na reform has earned a six-figure settlement from the City of Springfield after council...

Bored on a snow day? Here is your chance to really make a difference.

Show-Me Cannabis is launching a calling campaign to request clemency for Jeff Mizanskey, who is serving life without parole for a non-violent cannabis offense. Join the campaign by texting 'Jeff' to 420420, and we will send you a text that will connect you to Governor Nixon's office. Tell them simply that Governor Nixon should grant Jeff clemency and send him home to his family!

We will stagger the texts over the course of the next few weeks, so that the calls don't all come in at once. Consequently, you may not receive that text immediately. So, if you prefer to do it the old-fashioned way, you can call Governor Nixon's constituent services line at 573-751-3222 during regular business hours.

Then help spread the word by sharing this picture far and wide. Without your help, Jeff will die in prison. Take action now!

You can read more about Jeff's case on the Show-Me Cannabis website:
