Three economic research firms are competing to conduct a comprehensive study on the health of Missouri's cannabis industry. This analysis is crucial as it will provide valuable insights into the economic impact of cannabis operations within the state. The findings from this study will play a significant role in determining whether Missouri should issue additional licenses for cannabis facilities.

By assessing these elements, the state aims to make informed decisions that could shape the future of cannabis regulation in Missouri.
The outcome of this study could lead to expanded opportunities for businesses and entrepreneurs in the cannabis sector, further stimulating economic growth. As the competition among research firms heats up, the stakes are high for both the industry and the state's regulatory framework.
