Celebrating the 5th Anniversary of Missouri’s First Cannabis Sale

October 16, 2025

On this day, five years ago, Missouri made its first-ever legal cannabis sale, right here at what was then N’Bliss and is now Proper Cannabis.


Today, we celebrate that moment—when Missouri officially joined the ranks of states embracing cannabis as a legitimate industry, medicine, and community cornerstone. It marked the beginning of a new era for patients, cultivators, and advocates who had fought for years to see the plant recognized for its healing potential and cultural significance.

Since that inaugural sale, so much has changed. The space that once symbolized “first” has evolved into something even more meaningful: a home for quality, innovation, and care. And while the name on the door has changed, the mission behind it has only grown stronger—to cultivate better lives through cannabis, from seed to experience.


At Proper, we’re proud to carry forward the legacy of that first sale. Every product on our shelves, every new strain we release, and every interaction with our community stems from that same spirit that made Missouri’s first sale possible. We’ve seen the market mature and the stigma begin to fade. What remains constant is our belief that cannabis should be properly grown, properly crafted, and properly shared.


Missouri’s cannabis community has come a long way, and we’re honored to have been part of that journey since day one. As the industry continues to grow, we’ll keep setting the standard for what cannabis in Missouri can be.


Happy 5th  anniversary! The best is still ahead.
