Get Your Missouri Medical Marijuana Card in St Louis Through State-Licensed Doctors

The process in St. Louis takes about 5 minutes for your online appointment with our doctors, then 3 to 10 days for Missouri to issue your card. We approve you during your video call, and the state emails you a digital PDF version once they complete their processing. You can begin your treatment at any St. Louis dispensary as soon as that card reaches your inbox.

Getting your MMJ card in St. Louis requires four basic documents. You need a valid photo ID, proof of Missouri residency, a physician certification from us, and $25 for the state processing fee.

• Valid photo ID: Your Missouri driver’s license, state-issued ID card, or US passport all work. Just verify it’s not expired before starting your application
• Proof of Missouri residency: A recent utility bill, bank statement, rental agreement, or mortgage document showing your St. Louis address. Missouri accepts any documents dated within the last 90 days
• Physician certification: This is what we provide during your 5-minute online appointment. Our Missouri-licensed doctors evaluate your condition and issue your certification immediately after approving you
• $25 state application fee: Every Missouri patient pays this processing fee to the state when registering. This is separate from our consultation cost and goes to Missouri’s medical marijuana program
• Medical records (optional): Having documentation like prescription bottles, doctor’s notes, or medical records helps support your appointment. Our doctors can still approve you without these if your symptoms are clear during your video consultation
• Digital copies work: Take clear photos or scans of your documents and upload them online. Missouri’s entire application process runs digitally, so you won’t need to mail physical documents

You qualify for a Missouri medical marijuana card if you’re a resident with a qualifying health condition. A state-registered doctor needs to evaluate you and certify that medical cannabis could help your symptoms.

• Residency: You need to prove you live in Missouri with a state ID, driver’s license, or recent utility bill showing your current address.
• Age Requirements: You must be 18 or older to apply on your own. Patients under 18 can get a card through a parent or legal guardian who serves as their caregiver.
• Qualifying Health Conditions: Missouri accepts dozens of conditions including chronic pain lasting over three months, PTSD, cancer, HIV/AIDS, epilepsy, anxiety, depression, glaucoma, and any condition your doctor believes medical cannabis could help treat.
• Doctor’s Evaluation: You’ll meet with a Missouri-registered physician who reviews your health history and current symptoms to determine if medical marijuana is right for your situation.

You don’t need medical records to get approved for your Missouri card. During your video appointment, your doctor will focus on your current symptoms and what you’re dealing with. Your doctor will ask about your condition, listen to your answers, and certify you based on that conversation. If you’re experiencing pain, anxiety, or another qualifying condition, just be ready to talk about how it affects you.

Licensed dispensaries in St. Louis stock all state-approved forms of medical marijuana, allowing you to select the delivery method that aligns with your treatment plan. Each form has distinct absorption rates, duration of effects, and therapeutic applications for different medical conditions.

• Dry Flower: The cannabis plant for smoking or vaporizing, providing rapid onset of effects and full-spectrum cannabinoid profiles.
• Edibles: Gummies, chocolates, and baked goods that metabolize through your digestive system, producing longer-lasting therapeutic effects.
• Oils: Available in vape cartridges or oral formulations, offering controlled dosing and multiple administration routes for patient preference.
• Tinctures: Sublingual liquid extracts absorbed through mucous membranes under your tongue for faster systemic delivery than oral ingestion.
• Capsules: Standardized doses in pharmaceutical-style format that integrate easily into existing medication routines.
• Topicals: Transdermal creams and balms for localized application that provide regional relief without systemic cannabinoid absorption.
• Concentrates: Extracted forms like wax and shatter that deliver higher cannabinoid concentrations for patients requiring elevated therapeutic doses.

Your medical marijuana card is private information that won’t show up on standard background checks employers or landlords run because Missouri’s patient registry is confidential under state law. HIPAA protections cover your cannabis certification just like they protect all your other medical records, so you can move forward with your treatment without worrying about this information being publicly accessible. Federal employment, firearm licensing, and certain government clearances are the only exceptions where cannabis use might come up because federal law still treats marijuana differently than Missouri does and may require disclosure from you.

Patients in St. Louis with a Missouri medical marijuana card are allowed to grow marijuana at home, provided they first obtain a personal cultivation license from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. This license ensures that all home cultivation follows the state’s medical program and safety rules.

• Eligibility: You must be 21 years of age or older and hold an active Missouri medical marijuana card before applying for a cultivation license.
• License cost: The DHSS charges $100 for a one-year personal cultivation license. It must be renewed each year to stay valid.
• Plant limits: Each licensed patient may grow up to 18 plants total:
  • Mature: 6 flowering plants ready for harvest
  • Immature: 6 non-flowering plants taller than 14 inches
  • Clones or seedlings: 6 plants shorter than 14 inches
• Secure location: All plants must be grown in a locked, enclosed space that is not visible to the public. In St. Louis, this often means using an indoor grow tent, greenhouse, or locked shed.
• Shared homes: If two licensed adults live in the same residence, they can double the total number of allowed plants.
• Caregiver permissions: Registered caregivers may grow up to 18 plants for each approved patient they support, following DHSS guidelines.
• For personal medical use: Homegrown marijuana is for your medical treatment only. Selling or sharing it is not permitted under Missouri law.
• Storage: Any harvested marijuana over 3 ounces must be securely stored inside your home.

For patients in St. Louis, the process is simple and well-regulated. Start by getting your medical card, then apply for your cultivation license through the DHSS website. Staying informed and following these steps ensures your home grow remains compliant with Missouri’s medical marijuana program.

Missouri doesn’t offer reciprocity with other states, meaning your card only works at dispensaries inside Missouri. States like Oklahoma and Arkansas accept out-of-state medical cards for purchases, but carrying cannabis across state lines violates federal law even if you hold a valid card. Check which states honor Missouri cards before you travel and buy from their dispensaries instead of transporting your own supply.
