The Missouri Division of Cannabis Regulation (DCR) has announced significant changes to its Item Approval process for marijuana products, aiming to boost efficiency and reduce the regulatory burden for licensees. These modifications, effective immediately, are expected to expedite the review period for product designs, packaging, and labeling, ensuring they meet public health standards.

Introduced on September 1, 2023, the Item Approval process mandated licensees to submit all marijuana product designs and related materials for a compliance review before use. The process and implementation were heavily criticized by industry operators and elected officials in the time since.
