The state of Missouri has taken decisive action to regulate the sale of intoxicating hemp products within its borders. Governor-signed legislation now mandates that retailers must pull these products, specifically including THC-infused seltzers, from their shelves.
The deadline for compliance is set for November 12, 2026. This move is intended to distinguish between regulated, licensed cannabis dispensaries and general retail outlets that have been selling hemp-derived THC products.
State officials have framed this as a public safety measure, aiming to curb the availability of what they describe as 'fake' cannabis products in convenience stores and other non-regulated shops. The law does not impact the legal marijuana market.
Retailers across the state are currently working to ensure compliance with the new mandate. Businesses that fail to remove these products by the specified date may face enforcement actions from state authorities.
