You need to see either in person or via telehealth a MO Licensed M.D. or D.O. that is registered with the Department of Cannabis Regulation and in good standing. Have them file a physician Certification for you at/after your appointment. You will then need to file a application with the Department of Cannabis Regulation and pay the applicable state fee’s. Some clinic’s will handle this process for you and other’s do not offer that service. Canna Answers offers Patient portal assistance for $25 plus state fee’s if you need assistance. After you apply to the state the state has 30 days to process your application. Once they email you you may download and use your license instantly or print it. They do NOT MAIL A PHYSICAL CARD.
We are not currently associated with any M.D. or D.O. and therefore cannot recommend one at this time. If you are a M.D. or D.O. Deb is always open to chatting as she has 5 years of experience with Patient Cards in the state of Missouri and would love to find another clinic to work with that fits her patients needs.
We are open Monday – Thursday 8 am to 4 pm and Friday 8 am – 12 pm. We are closed most holidays.

This is complicated as while the MO constitution has language saying Medical Cannabis Patient ID holders may use cannabis most terms of release require a person to follow all local, state, and federal laws, and cannabis remains federally illegal. We highly recommend filing a request for modification of supervision of Probation and Parole with the Court to be allowed to use before using or speaking to a licensed attorney.
