The Missouri Medical Cannabis Trade Association, or MoCannTrade, has come out in support of Amendment 2 on October 23, 2018.
“Amendment 2 ensures Missouri residents can work with their physician to decide if medical cannabis could be helpful to them. The New Approach initiative has clear rules which put the needs of Missourians first,” said Andrew Mullins, Executive Director of MoCannTrade.
MoCannTrade is a new medical marijuana trade association which started in June of 2018. Its members are “business owners, professionals, practitioners & patients proactively working together to build a successful, safe, compliant medical cannabis industry.” More information is available on their website at MoCannTrade.org.
MoCannTrade joins Missouri’s other cannabis trade association, the Missouri Cannabis Industry Association (MCIA), which endorsed and promoted Amendment 2 since the initiative was initially filed with the state. Their website is MoCIA.org. MCIA is a state chapter of the The National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA) which has endorsed Amendment 2.
The support of trade associations are a critical component in establishing a regulated and safe cannabis industry in Missouri and they will work to ensure protection of patient rights and access to medical cannabis.
