Missouri

Medical use:Legal
Recreational:Yes

Recreational cannabis was legalized in 2022, and rec dispensaries opened just a year later in 2023. In Missouri, adults aged 21 and older are allowed to purchase and possess up to 3 ounces of marijuana for recreational use. Missouri also has an established medical program that started in 2018, allowing patients to enjoy up to 4 ounces of weed per 30-day period and grow up to six plants at home. Whether you’re medical or rec, you have to register with the state to grow your own weed at home. A cultivation card costs $100 and can be purchased through the state’s health department.
