Can I grow marijuana at home in Jefferson City with a Missouri medical card?
Patients in Jefferson City can grow marijuana at home with a Missouri medical card, but only after obtaining a personal cultivation license from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. The system is built to give patients access to their medicine while maintaining safety and accountability.
- Eligibility: You must be at least 21 years old and hold a valid Missouri medical marijuana card before applying for cultivation privileges.
- License: The DHSS charges $100 for a one-year cultivation license, which must be renewed annually to stay active.
- Plant limits: Each license allows up to 18 plants in different stages of growth:
- Mature: 6 flowering plants ready for harvest.
- Immature: 6 non-flowering plants over 14 inches tall.
- Clones/Seedlings: 6 plants shorter than 14 inches.
- Secure growing area: All plants must be kept in a locked, enclosed space not visible to the public. A locked indoor room or enclosed shed meets this standard.
- Shared households: Two licensed adults in one residence can double the total number of allowed plants.
- Caregiver permissions: Registered caregivers may grow up to 18 plants for each patient they support, if authorized by DHSS.
- Personal medical use: Cannabis grown under this license must be used only by the patient. Sharing or selling is not permitted.
- Storage guidelines: Any harvested marijuana beyond 3 ounces must be stored securely within your home.
From a medical standpoint, this program reflects a balance between patient autonomy and public safety. If you’re applying in Jefferson City, start with your doctor’s certification, complete your medical card registration, then add cultivation privileges once approved. This approach keeps you compliant and ensures consistent access to your treatment.
