Consult with the doctor for 10-15 minutes to evaluate your qualifying conditions and ask any questions you may have about medical marijuana treatment. Your certification will be issued at your appointment if you qualify for it.
Next, you must register with the state using their online registration portal. Once you've registered, you can complete and submit your medical marijuana card application within the same portal.
Once your medical marijuana card arrives in the mail, you'll be able to purchase marijuana products from any state-licensed dispensary in Missouri.
Medical marijuana is an effective treatment for an array of chronic and debilitating physical and emotional conditions. The evidence for its treatment value is so strong that 37 states, including Missouri, have robust medical cannabis programs.
If you or a loved one has a diminished quality of life due to an ongoing medical condition, cannabis can provide effective symptom management to improve day-to-day function. The available products you can access with your Missouri medical card are highly regulated to ensure their quality and safety.
You can obtain a medical marijuana patient certification form from a physician, submit an application to the state of Missouri’s Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS), and receive approval to purchase cannabis from a state-licensed dispensary (or for your caregiver to do so) within 30 days if you follow each step of the process correctly.
The applicant is not required to provide DHSS with any medical records or medical history to get a card. However, their certifying medical marijuana doctor may require some.
The Physician Certification Form the physician submits on the patient’s behalf must include their demographic information, their qualifying medical condition, the physician's attestation, the physician's signature, and the date.

At the Sanctuary Wellness Institute, our mission is to advocate for medical cannabis patients nationwide 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.
Missouri 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 Missouri DHSS as soon as possible. Once your information is in the system, you can continue the application process on the DHSS website.
For patients and caregivers, the total cost of obtaining a medical marijuana card is $25.94. Keep in mind that physicians will charge extra for consultations.
A caregiver is anyone who’s at least 21 years old who manages the care of a minor or minors seeking medical marijuana. The patient and their caregiver must each register with the state to obtain a card. Caregivers can purchase and possess marijuana on behalf of the patients for whom they care.
One patient can only have up to two caregivers, and a caregiver may only serve a maximum of three qualified patients.
No. Health insurance providers don’t currently cover the medical marijuana certification process. Despite Missouri state law, medical marijuana remains federally illegal.
Missouri medical marijuana cards are valid for one year. Their owners must complete an application to renew them each year and pay the application fees before they expire.
Missouri residents can start the renewal process within 60 days of their cards’ expiration dates.
