On April 4, Brentwood voters will be asked to decide on Proposition M, an additional 3% sales tax on adult-use (recreational) marijuana.
The language on the ballot will read as follows:
"Shall the City of Brentwood be authorized to impose an additional sales tax in an amount not to exceed three percent on all tangible personal property retail sales of adult-use marijuana sold in the City?"
A "YES" vote will impose a three percent (3%) sales tax on adult-use, recreational marijuana purchases made within Brentwood.
A "NO" vote will not impose a 3% sales tax on adult-use, recreational marijuana purchases made within Brentwood.

This is for adult-use (recreational) marijuana.
On November 8, 2022, Missouri voters approved an amendment to the Missouri Constitution relating to the legalization, regulation, and taxation of marijuana. The Missouri Constitution allows municipalities to impose an additional sales tax of up to 3% on retail sales of adult-use marijuana with voter approval.
Medical marijuana retail sales are exempt from the proposed tax.
At this time, there are no adult-use marijuana dispensaries in the City of Brentwood. If a majority of Brentwood voters approve Proposition M, this approval would allow the City of Brentwood to collect the additional sales tax from adult-use marijuana dispensaries if any such dispensaries are established in Brentwood in the future.
St. Louis County’s Proposition M: The County’s proposition does NOT apply within Brentwood city limits, only to recreational marijuana sales within unincorporated St. Louis County.
