As of April 2019, the following is the extent of official information provided by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) in regards to this process.
” Step 1: You must visit a state-licensed physician (not a nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant) to obtain a physician certification.
Step 2: Apply for an identification card from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (starting July 4, 2019).
Step 3: Once your application is approved and you receive your identification card, purchase medical marijuana from a state-licensed dispensary. “
NOTE: Be advised that your physician certification must be no older than 30 days at the time of application. There will likely be a online web-based application system. We’ll update this document once official rules are in place.
