There’s probably many people in Missouri who are interested in legal marijuana, and one person who is really interested in legalization in the state is the heir to the Anheuser-Busch estate.
It was last month that Adolphus Busch IV, the great-grandson of Anheuser-Busch’s founder, sent a letter that was written as part of the New Approach Missouri campaign. The letter supports the push for the state to legalize a comprehensive medical marijuana program next year.
The letter urges citizens of the state to back the move with monetary donations and signatures.
“One of the largest concerns is who it’s coming from. This is someone who benefited from the profits of the alcohol industry,” said Stacie Zellin of the NCADA.
According to Zellin, there is nothing “medical” about the legal marijuana proposal that Busch is seeking support of.
