Second Round of Microbusiness Cannabis Licenses Awarded by DCR

The Missouri Division of Cannabis Regulation (DCR) has completed the second round of microbusiness marijuana licensing, awarding a total of 57 licenses through a random lottery process. Over 2,000 applications were received during the application period, with each of the eight Missouri congressional districts guaranteed a minimum of six microbusiness licenses. Additionally, nine licenses were made available due to the revocation of licenses from the first round for rule violations. Applicants who were not selected may be eligible for a refund by submitting a refund request form. The DCR plans to issue an additional 48 licenses through the next application and lottery window in 2025. A complete list of lottery results and licensed microbusinesses is available on the department’s website. The lottery was conducted without reference to the identities of the applicants to ensure fairness and randomness in the selection process. This development is seen as a significant step for the local cannabis industry in Missouri.
