The Benefits of Having a Missouri Marijuana Card
Dispensary Access
Medical marijuana products should be purchased from a Missouri licensed dispensary or grown by patients with a cultivation license. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services supports the use of medical marijuana (in its various forms) as a low-risk and successful method of treatment for any one or more of the qualifying conditions.
With your Missouri medical marijuana card in hand, you'll be able to access all Missouri dispensaries and purchase medical marijuana. These state-licensed marijuana dispensaries carry many forms of medical marijuana in varying strengths and potency. You will be able to buy products such as tinctures, oils, creams, dry flower and plant material, pre-rolls, vape pens, and edibles.
Patient Product Confidence
Each of Missouri’s licensed dispensaries carries a variety of products that have been closely regulated and tested for purity and potency. When you make your purchases from a Missouri dispensary, you’ll have the confidence of knowing exactly where your cannabis products come from, and that they are safe, potent, and accurately labeled.
Legal Protection
Your Missouri marijuana card makes it easy for you to demonstrate to law enforcement that you are registered with Missouri's medical marijuana control, and thereby allowed to possess, transport, and consume medical marijuana products.
Access to Other States
A Missouri marijuana card allows you access to all dispensaries located within the state. Right now, Missouri does not reciprocate marijuana cards from other states, but several states accept a Missouri marijuana card as valid for medical marijuana purchase when Missouri residents visit. Check with out-of-state dispensaries before you visit in order to confirm.
Cultivation
A Missouri marijuana card with an additional cultivation license allows you to grow six (6) flowering plants per patient. Please abide by all regulations listed by the state.
