Qualified persons over the age of 18 or the primary caregivers of specifically qualified patients under 18 can purchase medical cannabis if they must possess a Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services approved ID card in order to purchase products from a Missouri state-licensed dispensary like Bloom.
To purchase recreational cannabis, you must be 21 or older.
Patient or Primary Caregiver ID cards go for $25, are valid for 3 years (if issued after December 8th, 2022), and require a renewal. Physician approval must also be submitted or resubmitted annually - which will be an additional cost.
As of 2023, Missouri state law says it is legal for medical marijuana patients and primary caregivers to have:
- Up to 6oz of Cannabis
Certain exceptions do apply and would require a physician’s recommendation.
Operating a motorized vehicle while under the influence of medical marijuana is still a violation of the law, a medical marijuana card does not provide protection from any repercussions.
Owners, officers, managers, contractors, employees and staff have to receive an Agent Identification Card and a unique identifying number. Before any individual can begin work, they must have this ID, which can be applied for through the DHSS for a fee of $75 and it is valid for 3 years.
In Missouri, dispensaries are able to sell concentrates, flower, and edibles. Check out our Bloom shop pages to see what items we have for purchase!
Nope! Personal identifying information can not be made public by dispensaries or the DHSS. Only dispensary employees and physicians can verify patients or caregiver registrations.
We recommend speaking with a physician if a patient has a medical need for cannabis. If a physician concludes that a patient would benefit from medicinal cannabis treatments, they may be eligible for a MMJ card in Missouri.
