Temporary MMJ MO card is not provided by the state laws.

Only the residents of Missouri can get a Missouri weed id card.

If you’re a resident of another state and have a corresponding medical cannabis card, you’re still not eligible for the Missouri medical cannabis program. However, you’re allowed to own marijuana if you have a card of other state.

The caregiver must meet certain conditions:

  • To be at least 21 years of age;
  • To confirm the ability to be responsible for a patient's well-being.
  • To be indicated in the DHSS Patient Application.

Guardians also fill out an application on the DHSS website, providing the following information:

  • Identification information.
  • Patient information.
  • Passport-sized color photo taken within the last 3 months.

During the registration as a caregiver, the person must pay $25. If the caregiver plans to grow weed for the patient, he/she needs to pay additional $100 and indicate it in the application. If the patient under care has a cultivation license, the caregiver can’t obtain the right for growing.

Reasons you'd be denied a medicinal cannabis card in Missouri:

  • You are under 18 years of age and don’t have a caregiver willing to sign the authorization;
  • Your disease is not included in the list of qualifying conditions;
  • You are not a resident of Missouri;
  • You have been convicted of a drug-related crime;
  • You own a weapon under the CCW program. 

It is difficult to say exactly what percentage of patients are denied access to medical cannabis in Missouri, as such statistics aren’t public.

 

Only the doctors and dispensary workers have access to the database of medical mj card holders. Privacy is one of the key concepts of MMJ MO program.

The fact of being a medical cannabis patient is not a legal ground for dismissal. However, you can be fired for smoking weed in the workplace. At the same time, a denial of employment is possible if you’re applying for a position where drug use is forbidden by law. 

What happens if I have my cannabis card and I'm denied a job in Missouri state? This clearly indicates the violation of your rights.

MMJ MO members should look for the job where the use of medical cannabis will not affect their work performance. At the same time, an employer can't deny you a job or fire you just because you’re a patient of the state medical cannabis program. However, if you’re going to apply for a position of a security guard, teachers, nurses, vets or a police officer, you should accept the risk of a reasoned refusal.

The law says that you may be denied a job where the drug use (in any form) is unacceptable. The most popular example is truck drivers.

You can get your card without leaving home. To do this, you should contact Dr.Weedy, take a consultation at any time convenient for you, and then submit an application on the website of the department of state that will give you a MO medical marijuana card in electronic and physical form.

If you have a felony, you may be denied access to medical weed on legal grounds. Although Missouri is very loyal in terms of patients’ access to cannabis, negative criminal background check indicating that you are a person with a drug felony nullifies the probability of a positive decision. 

Medical cannabis isn’t covered with insurance because federal law considers weed as a controlled substance.

To date, the issue of taxation of medical cannabis in Missouri is not regulated. It is also difficult to say whether blue cross and blue shield pay for marijuana card and whether it is planned to introduce a military discount or a license medicaid discount.

In fact, mj card prohibits firearm purchase. You just won’t pass a firearm background check. And if you conceal the fact of owning a medical cannabis card, you may be prosecuted for fraud.

A common question among medical cannabis patients is whether it is possible to own guns with medical cannabis card. Given that the CCW (Carrying a Concealed Weapon) law conflicts with the medical cannabis law, you can be prosecuted for fraud if you combine these things. Lawyers don't recommend such experiments. Moreover, if you are a medical cannabis patient planning to obtain a carry permit, it will be almost impossible to pass a firearm background check after getting a weed card. There’s a 100% chance you will fail a firearms background check.

You can’t smoke marijuana freely in MO state with a mj card. Moreover, you will be punished for smoking in a public place.

Many gun owners wonder: can you have a mj card and a concealed carry permit at the same time. Lawyers say that local medical marijuana law and federal law regulating the concealed carry permit contradict because weed is included in the list of controlled substances. Therefore, you shouldn’t combine these things in order to avoid the fraud charges.

Having a medical weed card is not a factor that indicates the person’s ability or inability to take a drug test. In the cases provided for by law, where the person must be tested for the presence of drugs, such test is done without regard for the patient's participation in the MMJ program.

You don’t need to have a permanent medical card to purchase cannabis and CBD-products in Missouri. It is enough to be included in the patient registry. Before receiving your card, you can also buy cannabis by using the electronic version of your card or ID (the dispensary workers can easily run it through the base). Keep in mind that if your application is rejected or your card is expired, you won’t be able to buy mmj without a card.

Medical cannabis dispensaries don’t require presentation of a card at the entrance, but if you want to buy weed, you must have either a physical card or its electronic version. You can also indicate your ID so that the dispensary workers can run it through the database.
