Amendments 2 and 3 would make medical marijuana legal under the Missouri Constitution, but Amendment 2 would employ a 4 percent tax on marijuana products and use the tax revenue for the Missouri Veterans Commission, while Amendment 3 would employ a 15 percent tax and use the tax revenue for a drug policy institute led by Springfield attorney Brad Bradshaw. Proposition 3 would only make medical marijuana legal under state statutes rather than the Missouri Constitution. Proposition 3 would also employ a 2 percent tax and use the tax revenue for veterans services as well as drug treatment and education programs.
