The regulated Missouri cannabis industry set a $1.5 billion sales record in
2025, including $1.3 billion in adult-use sales, MJBizDaily reports.

The industry also generated a record-breaking $255 million in cannabis tax
revenue, with about $151 million going directly to the state and about $104
million going to local governments that host licensed dispensaries. The
2025 cannabis tax revenue is more than six times the amount originally
predicted by the State Auditor’s Office, according to KCTV.

“If you want to do something for the Missouri economy, if you want to help
local communities, go to a licensed dispensary in the State of Missouri.
You’re going to know that product has been tested and that product is all
grown right here in the Show-Me State.” — Missouri Cannabis Trade
Association spokesperson Jack Cardetti, in a statement

The Missouri Cannabis Trade Association estimated in the report that local
governments and the state have earned collectively about $750 million in
cannabis sales tax revenue.

Experts predict that Missouri will surpass $5 billion in total legal
cannabis sales early this year.
