Chronic pain comes from many sources and affects people in different ways, but it's often tough to treat. \n\nConventional approaches to treating chronic pain range from lifestyle changes and natural remedies to potent prescription pain medications that can become addictive. But many people are finding relief from [chronic pain with cannabis](https://www.bmj.com/content/374/bmj.n1942), thanks to its many compounds that work with the body's natural systems for managing pain, stress, and anxiety. Now, [qualified medical marijuana cardholders in Missouri](https://hellomd.com/get-started/missouri/) can choose from a variety of cannabis products designed to relieve chronic pain.\n\n![Untitledval132.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitledval132_e8b079430d.png)\n\n### What Is Chronic Pain?\n\n**Chronic pain** is a general term for a condition that can have [many causes](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/4798-chronic-pain). It can include pain that persists after recovery from an injury or surgery or the ongoing pain of chronic health conditions like arthritis. Chronic pain can also arise from stress and trauma that put the nervous system on high alert, leading to painful sensations from tight muscles, digestive issues, and conditions such as migraine or fibromyalgia.\n\nWhatever the cause, chronic pain can compromise a person's ability to work, socialize, or get through the day. Living with pain can impact relationships and interfere with self-care. Chronic pain can affect just about any part of the body, and it can vary from day to day or in response to changing circumstances. Because chronic pain affects everyone differently, treatments also vary widely and can include:\n\n- Physical therapy\n- Talk therapy\n- Wellness approaches like meditation\n- An array of over-the-counter and prescription medications, including highly addictive opioids.  \n\n![Untitled59-min.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled59_min_bd3e1111c2.png)\n\n### Cannabis Can Relieve Chronic Pain Naturally\n\nAn extensive body of research reveals that [cannabis may be able to relieve chronic pain](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29637590/#:~:text=The%20National%20Academies%20of%20Sciences,sleep%20disturbances%20in%20chronic%20pain.) as effectively as pharmaceuticals, without the risk of addiction and severe side effects. The **cannabis Sativa** plant contains over a hundred [compounds](https://hellomd.com/tag/cannabinoids) and [terpenes](https://hellomd.com/articles/what-are-terpenes-and-what-is-their-effect) that interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, a network of cell receptors found throughout the body and brain that help to maintain [homeostasis, or balance](https://hellomd.com/articles/marijuana-cannabinoids-and-homeostasis-a-balancing-act), among numerous subsystems, including pain signaling.\n\n[Endocannabinoid receptors](https://hellomd.com/articles/what-is-the-endocannabinoid-system) respond to natural cannabinoid substances produced by the body's tissues, and they respond in similar ways to cannabis compounds such as **THC** (delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol) and **CBD** (cannabidiol). In that way, cannabis can help [moderate pain signaling](https://hellomd.com/articles/new-research-proves-marijuana-effectively-controls-chronic-pain) and provide significant relief for chronic pain from a variety of causes. Now, chronic pain sufferers can choose from various ways to consume cannabis for pain relief, from traditional smoking to topical creams that deliver cannabis compounds to endocannabinoid receptors in the skin.\n\n### The 5 Best Cannabis Products for Chronic Pain in Missouri\n\nCannabis [became legal in Missouri](https://www.mpp.org/states/missouri/) for medical use in 2018, so adults can now visit dispensaries throughout the state with [a valid medical card](https://hellomd.com/get-started/missouri/).

It's a natural response to uncertainty and unpleasant circumstances. For many people, anxiety passes once the situation causing it resolves. But for others, anxiety becomes a part of daily life. Common anxiety disorders include:\n\n- Generalized anxiety disorder, characterized by persistent, excessive worry and anticipation of disaster or unpleasant outcomes\n- Panic disorder, which consists of sudden and spontaneous attacks of extreme anxiety\n- Social anxiety, is extreme anxiety about being judged or rejected in social situations\n- Phobias, or severe anxiety reactions about specific things or circumstances such as flying, snakes or blood\n- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a constellation of anxiety-related symptoms that arise after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event\n- Depressive disorders \n- Obsessive-compulsive disorder\n\nAnxiety disorders can also occur along with many other health conditions such as ADHD, migraine, chronic pain, and gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease. Anxiety and stress can also affect anyone diagnosed with a serious or chronic condition like heart disease, cancer, or diabetes.\n\nTreatments for anxiety and anxiety disorders range from lifestyle and diet changes to talk therapy and a variety of prescription anti-anxiety and antidepressant medications.

This system [supports balance, or homeostasis](https://hellomd.com/articles/marijuana-cannabinoids-and-homeostasis-a-balancing-act), among the body's many subsystems, including pain signaling, mood, and digestion.

Whether you're having a few sleepless nights or a chronic struggle to get the recommended seven-plus hours of steady sleep, insomnia can disrupt daily life and contribute to long-term health issues. Standard treatments for insomnia include holistic remedies, lifestyle changes, and a variety of prescription and over-the-counter sleep medications.\n\n![What does healthy sleep look like?](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_6_12_47_PM_108495d9b6.png)\n\nNow, a growing body of research reveals that cannabis can offer safe and effective relief from insomnia without the side effects of common sleep medications. And today, adults in Missouri with a qualifying medical condition can choose from a variety of quality cannabis products designed to promote a good night's sleep.\n\n### Insomnia is a Common Problem \n\nInsomnia is a broad term that describes a persistent problem with falling asleep or staying asleep. It's one of several recognized sleep disorders, and because it has many causes, it can be difficult to treat. [Common causes of insomnia](https://www.sleepfoundation.org/insomnia/what-causes-insomnia) include:\n\n- Chronic pain\n- Anxiety\n- Depression\n- Medication\n- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)\n- Shift work or other causes of irregular and interrupted sleep schedules\n- Foods and beverages\n- Lifestyle factors - such as distracting surroundings or habits \n\nFor many people, lifestyle changes that promote better conditions for sleep can resolve simple insomnia, and so can adopting healthier routines that include changes in diet and drinking habits. But some of the most common contributors to insomnia may call for other interventions.\n\n![Cannabis can help you sleep better.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_7_07_01_PM_caace57c88.png)\n\n\nChronic pain from conditions such as arthritis, migraine, and cancer can cause nighttime discomforts that interfere with sleep. Anxiety also contributes to sleeplessness, and it's on the rise thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rates of depression and other mental health issues are rising in the US and worldwide, which can also contribute to disrupted sleep.\n\nPeople with Insomnia can turn to a variety of non-prescription sleep aids or get a prescription for pharmaceuticals. These medications can have side effects that range from dizziness and a \"hungover\" feeling to engaging in sleepwalking and other daytime activities such as driving while under the influence of sleep medication. \n\n![Sweet Chem flower is a relaxing Indica](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_30_at_11_59_48_AM_90d80c94aa.png)\n\nA more natural approach to alleviating sleepless nights is the use of cannabis. The many compounds and terpenes in [cannabis work with the body's regulatory systems](https://hellomd.com/articles/5-sleep-disorders-cannabis-can-help-alleviate) to relieve pain, anxiety, and other issues that may interfere with sleep. Plus, cannabis does not have the same unwanted side effects that other sleep medications are known to create.\n\n### Cannabis: A Natural Sleep Aid\n\nIn addition to helping people sleep better, cannabis has many [science-backed health benefits](https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/medical-marijuana-faq). Cannabis contains more than a hundred known cannabinoids that work with the body's endocannabinoid system or ECS. The ECS is an extensive network of cell receptors that respond similarly to the natural cannabinoid chemicals our body produces and those produced by plant sources such as cannabis.\n\n![Vaping cannabis may help you sleep better.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_7_08_39_PM_7669193817.png)\n\nThe endocannabinoid system plays a significant role in keeping the body's many subsystems in balance and moderating brain pathways related to mood and pain signaling. Cannabis cannabinoids such as THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), along with many other compounds and terpenes, affect ECS receptors throughout the body and brain to provide pain relief and promote feelings of calm and relaxation. In that way, cannabis [can make it easier to get and stay asleep](https://hellomd.com/articles/finding-relief-from-insomnia-with-cannabis) without the risks and side effects of popular sleep aids.  \n\n![Your cannabis can contain THC which can turn into CBN over time.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_6_29_36_PM_05e85fb683.png)\n\nCannabis products for sleep come in various forms for smoking, vaping, or consuming, so there's an option for everyone in Missouri with a valid medical cannabis card.\n\n### Medical Cannabis is Legal in Missouri\n\nCannabis [became legal in Missouri](https://www.mpp.org/states/missouri/) for medical use in 2018, so adults can now visit dispensaries throughout the state with a valid medical card. Although recreational use was decriminalized in 2014, it remains illegal. \n\nFor now, anyone with a card can choose from a variety of quality cannabis products designed to support restful sleep. \n\nHere are five options for cannabis products in Missouri that help people get a good night's sleep.\n\n[Amend Sleep 2:1 Tablets](https://www.3rdstreetdispensary.shop/stores/3rd-street-dispensary/product/amend-sleep-2-1-tablets-110mg)\nAmend Sleep 2:1 tablets from Beleaf Medical support relaxation and healthy sleep with a high CBD formulation that also contains sleep-supporting melatonin. These tablets contain twice as much CBD as THC, which helps to regulate sleep cycles and reduce anxiety that interferes with sleep.  \n\n### Soothe 1:20 RATIO Vape Pen\n\n![Soothe 1:20 RATIO Vape Pen](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2022_01_04_at_2_38_15_PM_3b079e9364.png)\n\n\n[Soothe 1:20 RATIO Vape Pen](https://www.3rdstreetdispensary.shop/stores/3rd-street-dispensary/product/soothe-1-20-ratio-vape-pen)\nVaping can be a healthier alternative to smoking cannabis, and RATIO vape pens are dose-controlled, which makes it easy to get the right amount every time. The Soothe 1:20 RATIO vape pen from New Growth Horizon contains a high-CBD, low THC blend that supports relaxation and reduces anxiety for better sleep.\n\n### Rural Route CBD Tincture\n\n![Rural Route CBD Oil](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2022_01_04_at_2_36_58_PM_ffda54e106.png)\n\n\n[Rural Route CBD Tincture](https://www.clovrdispensary.com/browse)\nTinctures absorb quickly under the tongue and are fast acting.

This Care by Design tincture is sugar and additive-free and contains additional minor cannabinoids for natural sleep support.\n\n### Wana Blueberry Sour Gummies\n\n![Wana Blueberry Sour Gummies](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2022_01_04_at_2_34_20_PM_bc8328e90e.png)\n\n[Wana Blueberry Sour Gummies](https://www.wanabrands.com/product/blueberry-indica-il-med/) are an indica edible gummy may do the trick for getting a good night's sleep. These not-too-sweet, not-too-tart gummies are infused with an indica distillate to promote feelings of relaxation and calm. They don't melt in intense heat and are full of 30+ terpenes. Taken an hour before bedtime, you may get your Zzzz's sooner rather than later.\n\nAbout one in ten Americans experience insomnia that interferes with daily life, and the number rises with age. Because it works with the body's systems, cannabis can support sleep safely and naturally, without the side effects of common sleep aids. Now, Missouri residents with a valid medical cannabis card can choose from various quality cannabis products for getting a good night's sleep.\n\n","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/2wBDABALDA4MChAODQ4SERATGCgaGBYWGDEjJR0oOjM9PDkzODdASFxOQERXRTc4UG1RV19iZ2hnPk1xeXBkeFxlZ2P/2wBDARESEhgVGC8aGi9jQjhCY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2P/wgARCAALABQDASIAAhEBAxEB/8QAFgABAQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAwAC/8QAFAEBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAf/aAAwDAQACEAMQAAABwZOixyf/xAAbEAABBAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAAIDEBIhMv/aAAgBAQABBQJxxEZC0VJ06v/EABQRAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABD/2gAIAQMBAT8BP//EABQRAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABD/2gAIAQIBAT8BP//EABYQAQEBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEQAP/aAAgBAQAGPwKmJ//EAB0QAQABAwUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEAESExQVFhcaH/2gAIAQEAAT8hrnkC3XnuCVTETn1lwneVZ//aAAwDAQACAAMAAAAQr8//xAAWEQEBAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARARD/2gAIAQMBAT8QgZ//xAAWEQEBAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARARD/2gAIAQIBAT8Qq5//xAAaEAEBAQADAQAAAAAAAAAAAAABEQAhMVFh/9oACAEBAAE/EBSqnEHqZ8IeqrB33rhtaYqIxOaPG/JdJQYHm//Z","aspectRatio":1.7699115044247788,"src":"/static/d1c0d107ec3f214bfead3e99309753fe/14b42/b30a69658498628891c257d5f2c038c6.jpg","srcSet":"/static/d1c0d107ec3f214bfead3e99309753fe/f836f/b30a69658498628891c257d5f2c038c6.jpg 200w,\n/static/d1c0d107ec3f214bfead3e99309753fe/2244e/b30a69658498628891c257d5f2c038c6.jpg 400w,\n/static/d1c0d107ec3f214bfead3e99309753fe/14b42/b30a69658498628891c257d5f2c038c6.jpg 800w,\n/static/d1c0d107ec3f214bfead3e99309753fe/47498/b30a69658498628891c257d5f2c038c6.jpg 1200w,\n/static/d1c0d107ec3f214bfead3e99309753fe/0e329/b30a69658498628891c257d5f2c038c6.jpg 1600w,\n/static/d1c0d107ec3f214bfead3e99309753fe/3ee49/b30a69658498628891c257d5f2c038c6.jpg 5440w","srcWebp":"/static/d1c0d107ec3f214bfead3e99309753fe/58556/b30a69658498628891c257d5f2c038c6.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/d1c0d107ec3f214bfead3e99309753fe/61e93/b30a69658498628891c257d5f2c038c6.webp 200w,\n/static/d1c0d107ec3f214bfead3e99309753fe/1f5c5/b30a69658498628891c257d5f2c038c6.webp 400w,\n/static/d1c0d107ec3f214bfead3e99309753fe/58556/b30a69658498628891c257d5f2c038c6.webp 800w,\n/static/d1c0d107ec3f214bfead3e99309753fe/99238/b30a69658498628891c257d5f2c038c6.webp 1200w,\n/static/d1c0d107ec3f214bfead3e99309753fe/7c22d/b30a69658498628891c257d5f2c038c6.webp 1600w,\n/static/d1c0d107ec3f214bfead3e99309753fe/c1b7c/b30a69658498628891c257d5f2c038c6.webp 5440w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Article_3745-markdown","title":"Can I Purchase Legal Weed in Missouri? The Answer is Yes!","slug":"can-i-purchase-legal-weed-in-missouri-the-answer-is-yes","content":"### Guess What? Medical Marijuana is Legal in Missouri!\n\nIf you want to consume some weed in Missouri, you're in luck. If you need it for medical reasons, all you need to do is become a registered medical marijuana patient. If you want to purchase \"recreational cannabis\", without a medical marijuana card for \"adult-use\", you'll have to wait.\n\nSince weed for medical use was legalized in 2018 in Missouri, there's been a lot of voices heard for greater access, and a strong pushback against government controls. For example, this summer, cannabis interest groups rallied medical marijuana patients to [raise their objections](https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/medical-marijuana-industry-urges-patients-to-speak-out-against-missouri-ad-restrictions/article_7cd7c200-cad0-568f-960f-799d4013deb5.html) after Missouri regulators told dispensaries they were prohibited from advertising cannabis sales.\n\nOn the rec use side, pro-weed groups in Missouri have filed initiative petitions for the 2022 elections to [legalize the recreational use of cannabis in the state](https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/marijuana-in-missouri-measure-legalizing-recreational-use-of-cannabis-could-be-on-2022-ballot/).  \n\n\"Missouri voters are ready for full legalization of cannabis. We're working to create an open market with low taxes and low barriers to entry by qualifying and passing a robust adult-use constitutional amendment by initiative petition in 2022,\" says Fair Access Missouri.\n\n### Fast History of Weed Legalization in Missouri\n\nMissouri has proved to be one of the more progressive US middle states regarding weed legislation. In 2014, the state legislature passed Missouri SB 491, decriminalizing possession of up to 10 grams of marijuana, with a first offense punishable by a $500 fine and no jail time.\n\nIN 2018, Missouri voters approved Amendment 2, a ballot initiative to legalize medical marijuana use as recommended by state-licensed doctors, as well as laying out regulations for licensing and certification. They also passed the Medical Marijuana and Veteran Healthcare Service Initiative, named for the 4% tax on cannabis sales designated for veterans through the Missouri Veterans Health and Care Fund. \n\n### Who Is Eligible for Medical Marijuana in Missouri?\n\nTo become a medical cannabis patient in Missouri, you must be at least 18, with an established residency. If they have qualifying conditions, minors in the state can also become part of the medical marijuana program, but this requires a parent or legal guardian, 21-plus years old, to act as caregiver. Legal-age patients may also appoint a caregiver to buy medical weed on their behalf.\n\nTo be eligible for medical cannabis in Missouri, you need to have a [qualifying condition](https://health.mo.gov/safety/medical-marijuana/how-to-apply.php#patientinfo), including: \n\n- Cancer\n- Epilepsy\n- Glaucoma\n- Intractable migraines unresponsive to other treatment\n- A chronic medical condition that causes severe, persistent pain or persistent muscle spasms, including but not limited to those associated with multiple sclerosis, seizures, Parkinson's disease, and Tourette's syndrome\n- Debilitating psychiatric disorders, including, but not limited to, post-traumatic stress order, if diagnosed by a state licensed psychiatrist\n- Human immunodeficiency virus or acquired immune deficiency syndrome\n- A chronic medical condition that is normally treated with a prescription medications that could lead to physical or psychological dependence, when a physician determines that medical use of marijuana could be effective in treating that condition and would serve as a safer alternative to the prescription medication\n- A terminal illness\n- In the professional judgment of a physician, any other chronic, debilitating or other medical condition, including, but not limited to, hepatitis C, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, Huntington's disease, autism, neuropathies, sickle cell anemia, agitation of Alzheimer's disease, cachexia, and wasting syndrome.\n\n### How To Register for Legal Weed in Missouri\n\nThe first step to buying legal weed is to [obtain a  medical marijuana card](https://hellomd.com/articles/how-to-get-a-missouri-weed-card). To do this, you need to see a doctor for authorization. \n\nYou may see a qualified medical professional from home in a private, online consultation with [HelloMD](https://hellomd.com/get-started/), or with a doctor in person. Please note that many physicians don't have a lot of experience with cannabis and may be hesitant to provide cannabis authorizations. This is why telehealth services such as HelloMD are around.\n\nWithin 30 days of receiving the Physician Certification Form, you are required to \nsign up for an account on the [Missouri Medical Marijuana Program portal](https://mo-public.mycomplia.com/#!/mo/register), providing such information as:\n\n- A digital photo\n- Proof of residency \n- A current Missouri utility bill, or a Missouri motor vehicle registration\n- Parents/legal guardians will need to upload a Parent/Legal Guardian Consent Form and proof of legal guardianship.\n\n### Where To Buy Legal Weed in Missouri\n\nIf you are a patient or a caregiver with an ID card from [Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS)](https://health.mo.gov/safety/medical-marijuana/index.php), you  can purchase medical marijuana from a [state-licensed dispensary](https://health.mo.gov/safety/medical-marijuana/licensed-facilities.php) or have it delivered to you. \n\n![Screen Shot 2021-09-15 at 2.21.01 PM.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_09_15_at_2_21_01_PM_ffd53f933f.png)\n\nThe [AMEND](https://janedispensary.com/delmarmenu/?dtche%5Bproduct%5D=amend-tincture-1-1-100mg-thc-100mg-cbd) 1:1 (THC to CBD) tincture can be found at [Jane Dispensary](https://janedispensary.com/) in St. Louis\n \nAn approved medical weed patient is allowed to purchase up to four ounces of dried, unprocessed marijuana or its equivalent in a 30-day period.

In order to purchase medical weed in the state of Missouri, you'll need to obtain your medical marijuana document!\n\nTo obtain your medical marijuana document you first need to be approved by a physician. You can meet with a Missouri-licensed medical professional — MD or DO — in person or online. Note that not all doctors are eager to prescribe medical cannabis, so you will have better luck seeking out clinics or physicians who specialize in cannabis. Getting your medical certification online through a Telehealth appointment is easy and private with [HelloMD](https://hellomd.com/get-started/). You'll have a medical appointment with a doctor who will  certify that you have one or more [qualifying conditions](https://health.mo.gov/safety/medical-marijuana/how-to-apply.php). \n\nIf approved, your doctor will fill in one of two forms. You will receive either the regular [Physician Certification Form](https://health.mo.gov/safety/medical-marijuana/pdf/physician-certification-form-standard pdf), authorizing you to purchase up to four-ounces of cannabis per month, or the [Physician Certification Form with Recommended Amount](https://health.mo.gov/safety/medical-marijuana/pdf/physician-certification-form-alternative.pdf) which authorizes you to be able to purchase more than four ounces per month.\n\n### How to Sign Up for the Medical Marijuana Program in Missouri\n\nYour doctor will sign and approve your certification form and send it to you electronically. Once you receive the form, be sure to save it so you can upload it when registering (do so within thirty days!) on the Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services [Medical Marijuana Portal](https://mo-public.mycomplia.com/#!/signin). Here's a [checklist](https://health.mo.gov/safety/medical-marijuana/pdf/application-checklist.pdf) from the state, to keep it simple. \n\nThere are additional fees when you register with the state of Missouri. You'll be charged a fee of $25 as a patient, and another $25 for each caregiver. If you want to home-grow, you'll sign up during this process and be charged an additional $100 which allows you to grow up to six flowering plants. \n\nHere's a [full list of fees](https://health.mo.gov/safety/medical-marijuana/fee-schedule-pi.php). Missouri, I love that you can legally grow your own medicine. You've come a long way from the schwag from who-knows-where in my beloved Dugout all those years ago. In case you didn't know, some states don't allow patients to grow, so rock it! (But check with your landlord/rental agreement/local laws first!)\n\nYour application will be processed within thirty days. You'll receive a message to log into the Missouri Marijuana Portal for your Patient Identification Card.\n\n### Do I Need a Missouri \"Medical Card\" to Purchase Cannabis\n\nThis former Missourian is happy the home state DOES NOT issue a plastic \"medical card\" that will just end up in the landfill. According to the [Patient Registry User Guide](https://health.mo.gov/safety/medical-marijuana/pdf/patient-registry-user-guide.pdf): \"save a copy of your Patient Identification Card to your device and print it off for your records as the MMMP will not be providing a physical card.\" Way to go, my beloved Missourians. As usual, you're leading the midwest charge! In solidarity, I will forego the hard card when I next renew my medical recommendation. (Yes. Even though we've gone legal in California, I still prefer the benefits of my medical cannabis card.)\n\n### What are the Weed Dispensary Rules in Missouri?\n\nFirstly, find one of the [Missouri Medical Marijuana dispensaries](https://health.mo.gov/safety/medical-marijuana/xls/licensed-dispensary-facilities.xlsx) near you. Be sure and call or check online to make sure they've opened for business. Review the policies, including accepted methods of payment. Because marijuana is still federally illegal — it's still also illegal for credit card companies to process any cannabis transactions. Debit cards are often accepted, and cold, hard cash is always appreciated!\n\nOnce inside the dispensary, you'll be able to purchase up to four ounces of cannabis — any combination of flower, concentrate, and infused products. Missouri has this nifty [Missouri Marijuana Equivalency Units](https://health.mo.gov/safety/medical-marijuana/pdf/mm-quivalency-units.pdf) table which breaks it down easily for you. A Missouri Medical Marijuana Certified Patient, or caregiver, may legally buy up to 32 MMEs per month. To simplify: \n\n- One MME = 3.5 grams of cannabis flower, \n- One MME = 1 gram of concentrate\n- One MME = 100mg of THC-infused edibles. \n\n### Finding a Dispensary in Missouri is Easy!\n\nMedical marijuana dispensaries are now open all over Missouri, and they are selling products to qualifying Missouri medical marijuana patients. When you walk into a Missouri dispensary, you’ll need your Missouri marijuana card and your photo ID. On [Pot Guide](https://potguide.com/missouri/marijuana-dispensaries/) you can view the full listing of legal medical marijuana dispensaries and search by city.\n\n![Screen Shot 2021-09-15 at 11.34.17 AM.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_09_15_at_11_34_17_AM_08f14c3c20.png)\n\n[Jane Dispensary](https://janedispensary.com/about/) is a sophisticated cannabis boutique located in St. Louis, Missouri.
