Medical Marijuana Doctors in Joplin, MO

There are several different medical marijuana doctors in Joplin and beyond. Right now, legalization has only been around for a couple of years. Therefore, more people are working to get approved and providers are working to get them approved so that they can benefit from all that medical marijuana has to offer. Remember that you need to choose a licensed, reputable medical marijuana provider in the state to get a medical card that is valid and legal.

It is also important that you discuss any potential risks and benefits with your doctor. That will help you know what to expect, as well as whether this might be the right path for your situation. Talk to a medical marijuana doctor in Missouri to find out if cannabis can be the solution that you seek. It may not be right for everyone, but there is a lot that it can offer.

How To Get Medical Marijuana in Joplin Missouri

The first step to getting medical marijuana in Joplin, Missouri, is to visit a doctor that can diagnose you with a qualifying condition. If you have already been diagnosed, you will need to obtain your medical records that document this condition. Then, you will take that diagnosis and make an appointment with a state-approved provider who will certify that your recommendation is valid and issue the card.

It’s not a difficult process, but it does take some time. And, it will cost you a little out-of-pocket because medical marijuana is not covered by insurance (it’s still illegal at the federal level, so the laws are tricky). In Missouri, patients will need to pay:

  • $25 annually to register as a patient
  • $25 annually to register as a caregiver
  • $100 annually to cultivate and obtain a cultivator’s license

Once you have submitted the paperwork and made the payment, the license will be issued and will be valid for a period of one year, at which time it will need to be renewed. Then, patients and/or their caregivers can visit a dispensary.

Is Recreational Weed Legal in Missouri?

Amendment 3 began the process of Missouri weed legalization in 2022. It was put on the ballot as an attempt to determine whether marijuana should be legalized for recreational use in the state. There were several parts of the bill, including the following:

  •   Allowing adults of 21 or older to possess up to three ounces of cannabis
  •   Allowing home cultivation of up to six flowering plants, six nonflowering plants, and six clones for a small annual fee
  •   Allowing cannabis sales at dispensaries licensed by the state with an imposed 6% sales tax
  •   Dividing the tax revenue between funding the state’s public defender system, providing healthcare for veterans, expunging nonviolent cannabis offenses, and providing substance abuse treatment

    Allowing local governments to add a sales tax of up to 3%

In November 2022, Amendment 3 was passed and recreational marijuana was legalized. Possession of marijuana was legalized in December and the first sales of recreational cannabis began in February 2023.  It is 100% legal to own and consume marijuana for recreational use in the state at this time.
