Also, once dispensaries open there becomes a huge influx of requests for patient registration and doctor visits with significant delays for both. We encourage patients to get certified for their Missouri medical card early so that once dispensaries are open, our patients are able to immediately access product.

How much does the Missouri medical marijuana certification cost?

The cost for the Missouri Medical Marijuana Certification is $150 for the initial visit. This price includes assistance with paperwork, medical marijuana education, the doctor’s visit, and any other help throughout the process.
