Kansas City All-Nite Weed Moves Forward

A local prog blog is breaking their arm to pat themselves on the back about reporting this story BUT we talked about it last month. 

Still . . . 

We appreciate their deets and wanted to share the info with so many new cowtown stoners who can no longer be bothered to read . . .  

1 Case No CD-CPC-2025-00141: Marijuana Dispensaries Hours of Operation: A request to approve amendments to Section 88-354 regarding hours of operation for dispensary facilities. 

City Council member Crispin Rea (4th District at Large) worked on this amendment with staff, but it was originally a request from a business owner constituent (Key Cannabis on Front Street and Interstate 435).

Amendment to Chapter 88: This allows an exception if the business is more than 1,000 feet away from residential zoning. They are eligible to obtain a special use permit to establish operating hours 24 hours a day.

Currently dispensaries can only operate from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

This will only impact two dispensaries in the city (From the Earth Downtown and Key Cannabis).

Businesses will be subjected to a special use permit that has a five-year duration.

Separation requirements will be 1,000 feet from a school, 300 feet from a church or daycare and 2,000 feet from other dispensaries. 

Action: Approved with amendment to include existing separation requirements.
