JOPLIN, Mo. — Buying legal marijuana is getting a little pricier, at least for sales happening in Joplin. Marijuana shoppers will be paying a little more at the cash register. Sales of legal adult-use marijuana will have an extra 3% city tax in Joplin. 'It became effective on October 1. So any purchase of marijuana inside the city limits there will be an additional 3% collected,' said Leslie Haase, Joplin City Finance Director. Voters approved the measure last spring – but it didn't kick in until this week.
