Wake Up TN: Missouri’s Green Boom
![]() |
Missouri - Cannabis Legalization Leader |
Missouri is showing the country what a thriving cannabis market looks like — and the numbers don’t lie.
The state’s marijuana industry has been pulling in more than $100 million every month, with cumulative sales topping $4.28 billion since 2018. That’s money flowing to farmers, small businesses, and communities — instead of out-of-state corporations or into the black market.
Even more, President Donald Trump recently hinted that federal rescheduling of marijuana could come in the next few weeks, continuing momentum from the Biden-era push. If cannabis moves from Schedule I (where it sits next to heroin and LSD) down to Schedule III, businesses would finally be freed from punishing federal tax rules, opening the door for lower prices and more competition.
“Missouri has done more than almost any other state to really enhance the program… Just this spring, the Wall Street Journal called Missouri a ‘cannabis mecca.’”

Why Tennessee Should Care
Missouri’s success highlights what Tennessee is missing: jobs, tax revenue, and a legal market that protects both patients and consumers. We’re the Agriculture State — but right now, our farmers and entrepreneurs are being locked out of one of the fastest-growing industries in America.
Wake up, Tennessee. The future is already here. The question is: are we going to claim our share of it? 🌱
