Iirc they have some sort of joint enforcement arrangement and can follow/pull you over on either side

Yeah but if they pull you over on the Missouri side and find your stash you aren't breaking any laws right (even if they began their pursuit on the KS side)?

Correct, you’d be good.

I won't believe it until Sherrif Deputy Rick Daris weighs in.

Missouri will allow the first dispensaries to begin selling marijuana for recreational use on Friday.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services will begin converting medical marijuana licenses to adult use licenses on Friday. But it’s unclear when each dispensary will be approved.

Dispensaries had been expecting the licensure change on Friday, but many were under the impression that adult sales wouldn’t be permitted to start until Monday.

“Pleasantly surprised,” said Cardetti, the spokesman for the Missouri Cannabis Trade Association.

While it’s unclear when the state approvals will roll out, Cardetti said he expects dispensaries to begin selling to the public as soon as possible.

“We do think sales will begin tomorrow,” Cardetti said on Thursday.

So how will consumers know which dispensaries are approved and when?

“They absolutely ought to contact their dispensaries and check,” he said.

Bianca Sullivan plans to wake up at 5 a.m. Friday and start checking her email. She owns a Fresh Green dispensary in Lee’s Summit and in the Waldo neighborhood of Kansas City.

“I’ll just be there waiting with the staff. It’s just frustrating,” she said.

Like others, Sullivan had been planning on big crowds for Monday’s opening day. But now, she’s scrambling to ensure she has enough staff, product and security to handle customers through the weekend.

“Maybe we don’t have a huge line Monday morning,” she said. “So it might be good if it’s busy but not crazy this weekend.

State officials said most medical marijuana dispensaries in good standing — which most are — will see their licenses converted on Friday.

“We anticipate approvals tomorrow being a fairly quick notification process,” said DHSS spokeswoman Lisa Cox.

Do any of you guys know which ones are the good ones?  Is it like liquor stores where some of them are just hole in the wall depressing little cheap vodka places and some are gourmet wine places?

If they are anything like the dispensaries in CO, this is accurate.

Canadian friend of mine prefers a no frills one in Vegas to the super swanky ones.

Recreational weed sales have officially begun in the state of Missouri.
To the surprise of many dispensary owners and customers alike, Missouri will allow the first dispensaries to begin selling marijuana for recreational use on Friday.
That means adults 21 years and older will be able to purchase recreational weed throughout the state over the weekend.
Monday, Feb. 6 had previously been identified as the day recreational sales would begin, but the state announced Thursday that many dispensaries will be granted their licenses earlier — as soon as Friday morning.
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services confirmed on Friday morning that it has approved recreational licenses for 207 dispensaries across the state, including dozens around Kansas City.

All dispensaries that are licensed to sell medical marijuana in Missouri will have their license to sell to recreational users by Monday at the latest.
“Anybody can come in and buy,” said Chris McHugh of Vertical Cannabis in St. Joseph. “You don’t even have to be a resident as long as you’re 21 years or older. All you need is your ID, and your shopping experience would be kind of like any other place like a beer and wine store.”
The products you’ll be able to buy as a recreational user aren’t any different from the products you can buy as a medical user, according to McHugh. There aren’t separate ‘medical’ or ‘recreational’ weed products.

The taxes you pay will depend on what credentials you bring with you to the dispensary — medical users will need to bring their medical card and ID, and recreational users will only need to bring an ID to show they’re at least 21 years old.
Marijuana has an added state tax of 4% for medical users, and 6% for recreational users, on top of normal state and local sales taxes.
Editor’s note: This list includes the Kansas City area dispensaries that The Star has confirmed so far as of Friday morning. It is not exhaustive, and more dispensaries could have received their adult use licenses that we haven’t been able to confirm yet. We will continue updating this story as the day goes on and we learn more.

Canadian guy I know is presently in the human kaleidoscope waiting room of one in Waldo.  45 minute wait, allegedly.

Pete can you ask your Canadian friend if they have Maui Wowee?

Yep, will do. Names of the weed are one of the single biggest factors in weed selection, according to sources.

The best ones have an animal, a fruit, and an interesting adjective.

Buying weed in canada is very strange. Way too much florescent lighting. No way did I trust what the 70 year old bureaucrat was telling me about terpene counts.

I love CBDs. It's helping me a lot with my dementia. Some folks really enjoy it for its relaxing effects, while others have concerns about its potential long-term impact. It really comes down to personal preference and responsible use. Btw, as for CBDs, do you have a favorite one? Here's more info about how it helps fight dementia, check this out. Just curious what you think about it.

It's great to hear that CBD is providing you with benefits for managing dementia symptoms. Indeed, opinions on CBD can vary, and responsible use is key. If you have any specific questions or if there's anything else you'd like to discuss about CBD, feel free to let me know!

[SondraHenfling]

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of basic weed myself. I prefer Nexus Smoke vapes, they're just more my thing. But when it comes to legalization, it's not just about personal preferences, you know? It's about looking at the bigger picture and considering all the factors.

[Spracne]

Agree with Sondra, here.
