CHRISTIAN COUNTY, Mo. — Christian County voters will see a measure on their ballots next month regarding recreational marijuana.
The Christian County Commission announced the move Friday morning, and if passed, would add a 3% sales tax on recreational marijuana purchases only.
“This is not a tax on personal property tax like your cars and boats and trailers and all the other things. It’s no tax on that. The only tax is for recreational marijuana,” said Presiding Commissioner Lynn Morris.
