On June 28, 2019, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services began taking applications from qualifying patients and caregivers for medical marijuana ID cards. Patients and caregivers must be state residents to apply. The patient/caregiver registration website is available on medicalmarijuana.mo.gov. The state health department only accepts applications submitted through the online registry. After uploading an application, patients will receive an electronic notification about the status of their application, frequently within 48 hours. The health department does not provide physical cards to patients. Instead, patients should log into their Missouri Medical Marijuana Program Registry account to download a copy of their card, then print it out.
