Missouri now legally allows for both medical and recreational (adult use) cannabis. Whether medical or recreational, From The Earth offers the best cannabis products and expertise in MO.
Medical Cannabis in Missouri
Up until very recently, cannabis access in our state required a Missouri medical marijuana card. Amendment 2, Missouri’s Medical Marijuana law, was passed by voters in 2018. In order for Missourians to access medical marijuana strains, or any other cannabis products, they needed to have a medical marijuana card prescribed by a doctor.
Even with the legalization of recreational cannabis in 2022, the Missouri medical cannabis program is still in existence today. To maintain cannabis patient status, Missouri medical marijuana renewal is required yearly.

Recreational Weed FAQ
Read on for answers to all your questions about recreational cannabis in MO!
Is recreational weed legal in Missouri?
Yes! As of February 2023, adults over 21 years of age are legally able to purchase from a recreational dispensary in Missouri.
When did Missouri legalize recreational weed?
Voters passed Amendment 3 in November 2022, amending the state’s constitution to allow non-medical adult (21+) use and cultivation of cannabis. Missouri is the 21st U.S. state to pass a law allowing for adult recreational cannabis use.
What are the new weed laws in Missouri?
Now that Amendment 3 has passed, any adult over 21 can visit and purchase from a rec dispensary Missouri, with a valid government-issued photo ID. You can purchase up to 3 ounces per day, but keep in mind that transporting weed over state lines is still federally illegal. Adults in MO may be in legal possession of up to 3 oz of cannabis at any time.
Cultivating your own cannabis plants in Missouri is now legal for adults 21+. However, you must apply for and be approved for a cultivation license ahead of time, and keep all plants in a locked facility.
