It is our mission to advocate for medical cannabis patients and to assist prospective applicants in navigating the registration process in their respective states. We offer our services to residents of multiple states applying for medical marijuana programs, including Missouri.
Arkansas has authorized the use of telemedicine to certify patients for medical marijuana cards. At the Sanctuary, our staff members are available to schedule a virtual appointment for you with one of our doctors. You do not need to have a prior doctor's evaluation to meet with our licensed physicians.
During your appointment, your doctor will evaluate your condition and determine if you meet the state’s requirements for medical marijuana use. If your physician believes you would benefit from marijuana use, they will submit a certificate to the Pennsylvania DHSS as soon as possible. Once your information is in the system, you can continue the application process on the DHSS website.
Simply call us at 484-346-5140 to arrange a virtual meeting with a physician.
"When I needed my medical marijuana certification, I turned to the Sanctuary. They made the entire process so easy and I was able to submit my registration to the DOH with no problem and, most importantly, no judgment. Thank you!"
How It Works
In order to apply for a medical marijuana card, you'll first have to fill out and gather some documentation. Depending on your unique situation, some of the forms you may have to submit to the state include:
Next, you can register to get a Missouri medical marijuana card by contacting your local health department. You will need to complete an application and submit the completed form with the following required documents:
A copy of your Missouri Driver's license or ID is required when submitting online applications. When completing applications in person, you must bring in two different forms of government issued ID. This can be your Missouri driver's license, state ID card, military ID card, passport, or social security document.
Note that there are some instances when you must prove residency if you are using medical marijuana for a condition other than seizure disorder. For example, if you have cancer and are going to use medical marijuana for pain relief, you will need to provide proof of Missouri residence even though your primary condition is not seizure disorder.
You will also need to provide proof that you have a qualifying condition, such as a letter from a doctor or a prescription card. If your doctor prefers to let the doctor who will be prescribing you the medical marijuana provide this, they can instead provide a letter stating your condition and how it would benefit from medical marijuana.
The first time applying for a medical marijuana card, you will need to complete an in-person application process. Once approved, the Department of Health and Senior Services will give you a packet containing instructions on what to do next.
Marijuana is a drug that provides relief for many ailments. Obtaining a state-issued medical marijuana card in Missouri can enable you to use cannabis to treat your condition(s). However, you must adhere to Missouri's application process in order to receive a card.

In order to get your own Missouri medical marijuana card, you have to prove that you're dealing with one of the state's official qualifying conditions. The state's list of conditions is constantly evolving, but here are the ones currently on it:
Missouri residents must be at least 18 years old to qualify for a medical marijuana card. Applicants younger than 18 will not be considered for a medical marijuana card, even with parental consent.
Those who are 18-20 years old are required to live with an adult in order to get their original registry ID card. This adult must be 21 or older and is supposed to serve as an "authorized person" in Missouri's MMJ program.
In order to obtain a medical marijuana card in Missouri, you will need to provide certain medical documentation. This documentation can include things like a diagnosis of a qualifying condition, a letter from your doctor describing your treatment plan, and proof of residency in Missouri.
