Missouri Cannabis Tax Update

When Missourians voted to legalize adult-use marijuana, the constitutional amendment authorized each dispensary’s local government to assess an additional 3% local sales tax. For dispensaries located inside city limits, like our Independence and O’Fallon locations, some surrounding counties also imposed their own additional 3% on top of that. Following a successful legal challenge by the industry, the Missouri Supreme Court ruled that this double taxation was unlawful. As a result, customers who made adult-use purchases at our Independence or O’Fallon locations between October 1, 2023 and July 31, 2025 may have been subject to this additional county tax.

While Missouri law designates the retailer as the taxpayer entitled to any sales tax refunds, NatureMed has chosen to create a voluntary refund program to pass that benefit on to you. Eligible customers can apply for refund based on their purchases during the affected period. To be considered, you’ll need to submit proof of purchase. Please note that our budtenders are unable to look up previous transactions, so a valid receipt is required. Submission does not guarantee eligibility, and all requests are subject to review.
