MO Marijuana Doctor Clinics

Doctors in Missouri are not permitted to prescribe medical marijuana. All prescription medications must be approved by the USFDA. 

However, Missouri medical marijuana doctors are permitted to recommend patients for access to Missouri dispensaries.

In order to renew a Missouri medical marijuana card, the patient must make a follow-up appointment with their doctor. Once approved, the patient can log in to the Complia portal and renew their card. 

The window for submitting a patient or caregiver renewal is 60 days prior to, and no less than 30 days before, the expiration date. Patients will receive a notification 60, 45, 30, and 15 days prior to the expiration of their card. Patients will continue to receive automatic reminder emails until their application every 15 days is approved or denied. 

If a patient applies for renewal after the 30-day window their card could expire before the new card is approved. This would leave the patient without legal protection for possession of marijuana. 

If corrections are needed, the application will be rejected. The patient will then have an opportunity to make the necessary corrections and resubmit a completed application within ten calendar days.

Medical marijuana card evaluations may be done using telemedicine services (audio/video conference) from the comfort of the patient’s home. 

For telemedicine appointments, the healthcare provider will email a form to the patient. Patients must complete the form and also provide a copy of their medical records. 

1st time appointments generally cost between $125 and $175. Renewals range between $100 to $150.

Physicians must be licensed to practice medicine in the state of Missouri as an MD or osteopath in order to be certified to recommend medical marijuana to their patients.

The correct dosage of medical marijuana products can vary greatly depending on the patient’s medical condition. The patient’s directed dosage, proper cannabinoid make up, and intake schedule should be determined by their medical marijuana doctor.

Missouri medical marijuana patients and their registered caregivers are permitted to buy up to four ounces of cannabis from Missouri dispensaries within a 30-day period. The approval of two independent physicians is mandatory if the patient requires more than four ounces.
