A vote in Missouri to allow recreational marijuana use could put pressure on Kansas lawmakers to take action. The Kansas news service reports that Kansas lawmakers have been debating the issue of medical cannabis for years, but have yet to pass legislation due to opposition from some Rpublican lawmakers. Kansas cannabis coalition advisor Kelly Ripple says with most of the state population living close to Missouri, that could push Kansas lawmakers to act, and really move forward with protecting the provider and patient’s relationship by allowing a medical cannabis program to be enacted.
The Kansas Speaks 2021 survey from For Hays State University found about 70% of people supported legalizing recreational marijuana for people over 21.
