Springfield patients qualify for a Missouri medical marijuana card with a certification from a physician or nurse practitioner licensed in Missouri. Read how to get a Missouri medical marijuana card for each step of the DHSS application. Missouri DHSS counted 118,892 active patient ID cards statewide in its 2024 program year. Cardholders buy from licensed dispensaries, which sell dried flower, concentrates and infused products; 8 grams of concentrate counts the same as 1 ounce of flower. Patient rights and limits come from Article XIV of the Missouri Constitution. Patients under 18 who are not emancipated need written consent from a parent or guardian, who then serves as their primary caregiver and holds the card.

WHAT SPRINGFIELD PATIENTS NEED
FROM CANNABIS DOCTORS
Springfield patients need a certification from a Missouri-licensed physician or nurse practitioner who has examined them. Missouri law then lets cardholders buy THC products at licensed dispensaries. To qualify for a medical marijuana card in Springfield, you need a qualifying condition. Qualifying conditions under Missouri law include cancer, intractable migraines, epilepsy, glaucoma, severe pain or muscle spasms tied to Parkinson’s or Tourette’s, terminal illness, PTSD diagnosed by a state-licensed psychiatrist, HIV, sickle cell anemia, agitation of Alzheimer’s, IBD and hepatitis C.
Missouri medical patients pay a 4% state marijuana tax, while adult-use buyers pay the 6% state tax plus, in Springfield, the 3% city tax on adult-use sales that voters approved on August 8, 2023. A physician may evaluate you by video when the standard of care allows. The certifying practitioner files the certification in the DHSS registry, and you then pick it in your own application. For a Springfield cardholder who does not grow, the possession limit is 12 ounces, a 60-day supply; holding more, but no more than twice the limit, brings DHSS sanctions under Article XIV of the Missouri Constitution, including an administrative penalty and loss of the patient ID card for up to a year.

Missouri Medical Marijuana Card Program
Dr. Green Relief has no office in Springfield or anywhere else in Missouri. The DHSS Division of Cannabis Regulation runs Missouri’s medical marijuana program. In 2018, a ballot initiative to amend the state constitution legalized medical cannabis use in Missouri. Patients may purchase six ounces in a 30-day period unless their physician or nurse practitioner certifies a compelling need for more. To get your Missouri Cannabis Card, you first need a certification from any Missouri-licensed physician or nurse practitioner. Once a physician or nurse practitioner certifies you, that certification protects your possession of medical marijuana within the limits while you apply for your card, as long as you show it on request.
