About Cannabis in Missouri
In recent Missouri cannabis news, Senate Bill 189 establishes expungement clinics to assist those in need with the process of seeking expungement for applicable criminal charges and convictions involving cannabis.
It’s been five years since Missourians voted to pass Amendment 2, authorizing the creation of a comprehensive medical cannabis program.
Under this program, medical marijuana patients can purchase up to 4 oz of medical cannabis every 30 days. A higher amount may be purchased if the qualified patient shows medical necessity.
Since 2018, Missouri’s cannabis industry has grown—for both medical and recreational use.
Missouri is one of the most recent states to have legalized adult-use cannabis. Though the program was established in August 2022, Show-Me State dispensaries began selling recreational marijuana in February 2023.
Missouri Medical Marijuana Program Requirements and Cost
Along with having a qualifying condition, applicants must provide proof of residency in Missouri with a valid state driver’s license or ID card. In addition to Veriheal’s consultation fee of $199, new patients must also complete the Missouri medical marijuana card application, which costs $25.94. This registration must be renewed annually to stay valid in the statewide registry. Recommendations on medical marijuana doses must also be renewed annually.
Registering a Primary Caregiver in Missouri
To be a caregiver for a Missouri resident, both the caregiver and medical patient must be able to provide proof of residency with a valid driver’s license or ID card. The caregiver also needs to be added to the patient’s medical cannabis certification application as the listed primary caregiver in order to be authorized to purchase and possess medical marijuana on the patient’s behalf. The cost of a caregiver application is $25.94.
A patient may have up to two registered caregivers who are 21 or older and are residents of the state of Missouri. Caregivers are allowed to assist three patients at a time. Only legal guardians or parents may serve as a minor’s caregiver.
Either a patient or a caregiver (not both) may include an application for patient cultivation unless the patient is a minor. If they are, they cannot apply for cultivation. If patient cultivation is desired, it must be included in your initial application for a medical marijuana license.
