MO Cannabis medical card-Been a while since weed was legalized recreationally in MO

[ShortRoundChief]

Anyways, mines coming up. They’re a little pricey, worth it or go recreational rogue?

I guess if you have a situation where a med card would keep you employed or out of trouble it might be worth it. If for no reason I'd say go recreational.

You can grow your own in Missouri if'n you want.

Keep in mind that while it's legal in many states, it is still illegal federally. So if you have a government job, a government contracting job, or a job in a sector like aerospace or finance, you might have trouble getting a job because they make you disclose under penalty of fines and imprisonment.

Legally you have to have the card to grow, you also have to purchase a separate license from the state that you can only get if you have your med card. So if you plan on growing & you want to do it legally you still need the card.

Also the card makes it so you can't be fire for a random drug test at your job. They can still test you upon hiring & they can still test you if you're in an accident at work, but they can't just do a random drop & fire you over it. Other than that if you're just going to buy from the dispensary anyway I'm not sure it's worth the hassle/cost to save a small amount on taxes.

I thought about trying to grow and then I'm reminded that I once killed a cactus.

Off to El Salvador for you.

Do I need a weed card there too?

[ThyKingdomCome15]

Weed is ghetto.

4% tax to 6% tax isn’t a very big lure.
Colorado recreational tax is over 25%.

So makes a little more sense.

Just googled the price of a med card in Missouri. Says it's $27.40. This seems like it would pay itself off if you're buying much.

That's what you pay to the state for the card, but it also requires a prescription which you also have to pay for. Costs of the Dr "visit" (most places do virtual appointments) vary pretty wildly, I've seen well over $100 & the cheapest I think I've found was about $70 if I remember correctly. It used to only be good for 1 year, but now it lasts 3 which makes the costs much more palatable.

Yeah, wasn't clear from the OP if the doctor visit was needed. He says the card is "coming up" which I assume means for a renewal. I guess if that also requires a doctor's visit then the the whole thing could be $120 or so.

It would take a doctor's visit. That's where the cost is at.



Odd thing is I'm such a lightweight. 2 puffs on a joint and I'm done for the night. A joint will literally last me a week, so I don't buy much. I only mess with edibles if I don't have anything to do the next day. With a joint, I'm good in about 3 hours. With edibles, it's a crap shoot.

Here is Florida you have to pay $179 every 6 months to a doctor to keep getting the weed. Then you have to pay $75 to register with the state every 2 years.

I'll pay that willingly to avoid worrying about the police making a public example out of me. Which has occurred many times so far. Very public arrest press conferences. No growing your own wither.

Bro, DM me. I have a much cheaper doctor. Free RFE and all, $99 for the visit.
