Missouri Dispensaries

You state “his probation officer” – meaning actively serving time. He may not be in jail, but he is still serving time, even if only probation. Persons actively under supervision can be “violated” by their Probation/Parole officer for using. Even if they have a card. The card is technically not a prescription, and therefore not protected.

He has to abide by the conditions of his parole/probation regardless of being qualified for the medication and the licensing. It is a completely separate issue and in no way can the medical marijuana card or any decision from department of health and senior services get a P&P decision changed or overturned. When you get under their jurisdiction being under the influence of any drug regardless you legality is prohibited. That’s why P&P officers can drug test at will. He will have to serve his time clean or risk being violated and receiving full penalty that can be imposed by DOC. Worked there a number of years. Also the MMJ law states it gives no protections in this instance as well as others.

Im currently on probation as well and i would think it doesnt really matter if you have the liscense as long as you dont physically tell them or get caught possessing or growinf anything i understand the want to be transparent and try to be honest about a prescription and medicine as they tell you to do and literally works with any other narcotic. Ive heard in some places they are more open to it as long as you are paying all your stuff and not failing drug tests for anything else recently or really even thc i would assume but if they think you have a problem with it or its one of the reasons you are not only on probation but also are staying on probation or in and out of jail because of failing UA for it then probably not going to qllow it there is still that thin li e in missouri where even though it is legal and prescribed its still your conditions of probation not to possess or use any drugs or alcohol and if they can stop you or send you to jail or whatever for having a beer or occaaional drink even though you might not even be an alcoholic or do it very often if they find you with it or you fail an alcohol test wich is in your system for roughly 84 hours ive heard through your urine i know it can be detected for few days either way those are both violations of your probation parole. Like im saying though as it continues to move foreward hopefully that line becomes less blurred and it becomes an acceptible thing but if its made known to be acceptible then everyone is going to start doing everything they possibly can and lying about stuff until they eventually pay a dr off or get them to believe them and prescribe it and eventually word gets out and then everyone on probation gets one somehow so they can get away with something legally or find a way to tap into the dispensaries to continue their criminal careers and start pushing stuff over to black market and ruining things for alot of people so i get it but either way what i would do and will do is just get mine and keep it on the low until i figure out that they are more acceptable and allow patients on paper to go ahead and do it or obviously your gonna have some officers that just dont care as long as your within your prescription qnd the law and not attracting attention to yourself and once you figure out who that is thats when you explain it or just wait until your completely done to smoke and even probably grow unless it is somewhere thats not in your residence as an extra room even though locked up they have the right too look basically anywhere in your home unless you have shared rooms with room mates even then i think they can look in room but cant go thru stuffof a room mates but DHSS to my understanding will not ve sharing qnyones personal info or who is doing what or is patient or growing or both so basically if you are within the law on there end and you dont accidentally get caught possessing any or growing anywhere on your own property that they can look through i would suggest if on your property have a secured outdoor building but if you dont ever tell them and its not in your system then they will not really have any idea your a license holder. The DHSS wont cooperate with them or anyone to my knowledge. The only problem now with him already telling them is now they do know and they will know what to be watching him for bc like i said if your 21 and they can send you to prison for accumulated violation or citations for drinking then it does say and you signed off on the fact you will not possess or use any drugs or alcohol again it is a very gray area right there bc technically they will call it a laws violation and as long as its not federal paper then state probation as long as legal in your state your technically not doing anything wrong in a sence but thats only gonna stay that way until someone has to defend themselves and does it successfully because they were within the law although i believe it even says you are not supposed use any narcotic even if prescribed unless directed otherwise or given permission but my defense if i was him would be thus fact you can go to the dentist have a tooth pulled and the dr sends you home with a prescription most people dont really ask alot of questions about what it is till at pharmacy and then you find out its vicodinwich your not supposed to be taking and you know that so you go to your po and ask them if its ok you just got tooth pulled or whatever most the time they will allow it ive been prescribed and allowed too take my suboxone the whole time ive been on paper but my point is if you just got that paper prescription and seen what it was so went and asked about if you could take it first then your doing nothing wrong at all you never picked them up so your not actually possessing them nor have you been able to take anything and if your urine is clean there would be no real reason for a citation that will ever hold up atleast you cant be decided for the paper the dentist gave you you never went to fill bc you wanted to ask your po first if ok. Its the same situation he never went in a dispensary yet bc none are open and as long as he hasnt started growing and they found anything or failed a UA for THC then im sure can be thrown out pretty easybut good luck its a tough thing to figure out and i hope everything becomes more black and white in that area soon but until then id just walk the line and atleast he already got his foot in the door for when he finishes probationso he can renew his cards a lil easier!! My question is yes past covictions are said not to matter only trouble after you have your card so if you get it on probation and then do get pulled over and on probation if they decide to take you to jail and revoke your probation for possessing then ultimately alot of times you go to prison or atleast have a new case and that would be trouble after obtaining your licenses. I wonder if they would just go ahead and take your card for that? If so thats gonna be a big issue and way too keep people in trouble for ever

I was told when I got my card today, that we could get it in IL. This NOT legal, but word is, if you have your card, they won’t do anything.

You are right on the money. It’s all so politicians can get their cut.

No! Mmj should never be affiliated with big Pharma.

Get ready to wait longer. I heard on the news tonight that it could be as late as the second half of 2020 before dispensaries will start being able to selling med. marijuana. The State is taking its time due to the length of time they took to approve licenses for cultivation and suppliers.

Go to Denver!! Been going for 5 years, prices here are going to be even higher than the black market. An ounce here around 400 or higher, and so so quality. An ounce in Denver about 125 dollars and the best bud you will ever smoke.

I would try to find a “caregiver” near you. Maybe ask around to see if anyone’s looking for patients to grow for. I had great luck with a budtender in Michigan whose prices were super reasonable as long as she was your named caregiver. Good luck, I am having a very hard time finding anyone for myself. I got my cultivation card but obviously, that’s going to take a while to be of any help for me.

Hey dave when you go to a dispensary do like i do i am in the disability thing too!I fisrt ask if they have hardship and then apply. Then i get for example a half ounce for $125 when it is on sale then I get my hardship 20% off.For example I bought an ounce at ACANZA dispensary in ark .I would up with an ounce for $200 that lasted for 2 months.The strain was Ghost og ever so wonderful for pain.Hope this helps bro!
