How long does it take to get a med card in Missouri?
What documents do I need to apply for an MMJ card in Missouri?
For Missouri, you need a valid government-issued photo ID and proof of Missouri residency (like a utility bill or lease agreement). We handle the physician certification part during your 5-minute online appointment, and you’ll pay the $25 state application fee when we submit everything. Here’s what you need to gather:
- Valid photo ID: Your driver’s license, state ID, passport, or military ID works. It needs to show your current legal name and date of birth.
- Proof of Missouri residency: A recent utility bill, bank statement, lease agreement, or mortgage document with your Missouri address. Needs to be dated within the last 90 days.
- Physician certification: We provide this during your video appointment. Our Missouri-licensed doctors evaluate your qualifying condition and complete your certification form.
- $25 state application fee: Paid to Missouri when we submit your application. We include this in our total cost so there are no surprise fees.
- Medical records (optional, not required): You don’t need to dig up old records or doctor’s notes. Our doctors can certify you based on your symptoms and health history during the consultation.
- Email address: Missouri sends your digital card as a PDF, so make sure we have a working email on file.
Do I qualify for a Missouri medical marijuana card?
To qualify for a medical marijuana card in Missouri, you must meet the following requirements:
- Residency: You must be a legal resident of Missouri and provide proof such as a Missouri state-issued ID, driver’s license, or utility bill with your address.
- Age: You must be 18 years or older. Patients under 18 may qualify through a designated caregiver (see next question).

What forms of medical marijuana are available in Missouri?
In Missouri, patients with a medical card have access to a wide variety of cannabis product types to suit their health needs. Permitted forms of medical marijuana include:
- Oils: These can be used in vape cartridges or taken orally, depending on the product’s instructions.
- Capsules: You swallow these like regular pills, which allows for simple and accurate dosing.
- Edibles: With gummies, chocolates, and baked goods, following an edible dosing guide helps ensure consistent, long-lasting effects.
- Topicals: These are lotions, balms, and creams you apply directly to the skin for localized relief.
- Tinctures: These are liquid drops you put under your tongue for faster effects than edibles.
- Liquids: Drinkable cannabis products like infused beverages or syrups you can mix into other drinks.
- Dry Flower: This is the actual cannabis plant, which can be smoked or vaporized for immediate relief.
Can my employer or landlord find out about my medical marijuana card? Can it show up on a background check?
Can I grow marijuana at home with a Missouri medical card?
Yes, but you need a separate cultivation license from the state, which costs $100 per year and allows you to grow up to 18 plants at home. Your medical card alone doesn’t give you growing rights, so you’ll need to apply for the cultivation license if you want to grow your own supply. Missouri home cultivation rules:
- Age requirement: You must be 21 or older to apply for a personal cultivation license. No exceptions, even with a valid medical card.
- Annual license: The cultivation license costs $100 and renews every year. This is separate from your medical card cost.
- 18-plant limit per person: You can grow up to 6 flowering plants, 6 non-flowering plants taller than 14 inches, and 6 clones or seedlings under 14 inches tall.
- Enclosed and locked space: Your plants must be in a locked area not visible to the public. A locked room, basement, or shed works fine.
- Household doubling: Two adults with cultivation licenses in the same home can grow 36 plants total (18 each).
- Caregiver growing: Registered caregivers can grow an additional 18 plants for each patient they care for.
- Personal use only: You can’t sell or give away what you grow. It’s for your own medical use.
- Storage rules: Any harvested marijuana over 3 ounces must stay stored at your home.

What Missouri dispensaries can I use my MMJ card at?
Missouri’s got dispensaries across the whole state where your MMJ card works. Whether you’re in the Kansas City metro, the St. Louis area, down in Springfield, or over in Columbia, there are solid spots that patients trust. Here’s four great dispensaries spread across different parts of Missouri.
Out west in Kansas City, From The Earth State Line (1221 W 103rd St) sits right on the Missouri-Kansas border, making it accessible if you’re coming from Overland Park, Lee’s Summit, or Independence. You can hop right off I-435 or I-49 and be there in minutes. This location’s known for their friendly staff, plus they’ve got a solid flower selection. Patients around the Kansas City area appreciate that they stock quality brands and keep their menu diverse enough that you can find what you need whether you’re looking for strains or trying something new.
Over in St. Louis, Luxury Leaf (1463 S Vandeventer Ave) sits in The Grove neighborhood, close to The Hill and Grand Center. They’ve built a reputation for creating a spa-like atmosphere that feels less clinical and more welcoming than a lot of other places. People around the Central West End, Tower Grove, and Midtown areas use this spot because the team focuses on patient education and making everyone comfortable. Their same-day delivery service covers much of the city if you can’t make it in person.
Down in Springfield, Good Day Farm Springfield West (3800 W Sunshine St, Ste 100) sits on West Sunshine near South Campbell Avenue, easy to reach from Missouri State University or if you’re coming in from nearby towns like Nixa or Republic. This location’s menu is huge with over 30 premium flower strains, plus they’ve got award-winning edibles and concentrates that patients in southwest Missouri rely on. The staff here gets solid reviews for being patient with newer users, and they’re open late most nights which helps if you work weird hours.
In central Missouri, Shangri-La Columbia (1401 Creekwood Parkway) sits just off I-70 near Douglass Park and Bellwood, making it convenient whether you’re local to Columbia or passing through from Jefferson City or Moberly. They’ve got a drive-thru that lets you grab your products without getting out of the car, which is a nice touch when you’re in a hurry. Patients around the University of Missouri and Rocheport areas appreciate their competitive pricing and the fact that their budtenders are known for being helpful rather than pushy.
So whether you’re in the Kansas City metro, the St. Louis region, Springfield and the Ozarks, or Columbia and central Missouri, you’ve got reliable Missouri dispensaries that’ll take your MMJ card.
