DR. GREEN RELIEF
St. Louis Marijuana Doctors
Getting a medical marijuana card in St. Louis starts with a certification from a Missouri-licensed physician. Dr. Green Relief offers telemedicine evaluations for patients across St. Louis City and St. Louis County, so you can complete your visit from home. If you qualify, your physician submits your certification to the state, and you apply for your ID card through Missouri’s medical marijuana program.
Missouri cards are valid for three years, and patients can buy up to 6 ounces every 30 days at licensed dispensaries. That’s twice the adult-use limit, at a lower tax rate. If the physician does not certify you, you don’t pay for the visit.
What a Missouri Medical Card Allows

A physician may also certify other chronic or debilitating conditions, such as Crohn’s disease, sickle cell anemia, hepatitis C, or agitation of Alzheimer’s disease. Missouri no longer requires proof of residency. You will need a government-issued photo ID and a recent color photo for your state application.

FAQS
How do I get a medical marijuana card in St. Louis?
First, get a certification from a Missouri-licensed physician or nurse practitioner. Next, apply online with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) within 30 days of your certification. You will upload the certification, a government-issued photo ID, and a recent color photo, and pay the state fee. Dr. Green Relief offers telemedicine evaluations for St. Louis patients.
Can I get my Missouri medical card evaluation online?
Yes. Missouri allows telemedicine evaluations when the standard of care does not require an in-person visit. You can meet with a Dr. Green Relief physician from home in St. Louis City, St. Louis County, or nearby areas.
What conditions qualify for a medical card in Missouri?
Qualifying conditions include cancer, epilepsy, glaucoma, intractable migraines, HIV/AIDS, and terminal illness. They also include chronic conditions that cause severe, persistent pain or muscle spasms, and debilitating psychiatric disorders such as PTSD when diagnosed by a Missouri-licensed psychiatrist. A physician may also certify other chronic or debilitating conditions, such as Crohn’s disease, sickle cell anemia, or agitation of Alzheimer’s disease.
How much does a Missouri medical marijuana card cost?
There are two costs. The first is the physician evaluation. A new patient visit with Dr. Green Relief is $129. The second is the state ID card fee of $28.92, paid directly to DHSS. The state fee covers the full three years the card is valid.
How long is a Missouri medical marijuana card valid?
Missouri patient ID cards are valid for three years. You can submit your renewal between 60 and 30 days before your card expires, along with a new certification from a Missouri-licensed physician or nurse practitioner.
Do I need to be a Missouri resident?
No. Missouri no longer requires proof of residency for a patient application. You still need a valid government-issued photo ID. Your card is only valid under Missouri law, so it does not protect you in states where marijuana is illegal, including Kansas.
How much marijuana can I buy with a medical card in Missouri?
Patients can buy up to 6 ounces of dried marijuana, or its equivalent, every 30 days, unless a physician or nurse practitioner certifies a higher amount. Patients can possess up to a 60-day supply. Adult-use shoppers are limited to 3 ounces per purchase.
Is a medical card worth it now that recreational marijuana is legal in Missouri?
For many patients, yes. Medical purchases carry a 4% state marijuana tax, compared with 6% for adult use, and adult-use sales can also carry local marijuana taxes. Regular sales tax applies to both. Medical patients also get a higher purchase limit and physician guidance on their treatment.
