Dispensaries in Missouri

Missouri Dispensaries by City

Every Missouri city and town with at least one licensed dispensary is listed here, largest first. Kansas City and St. Louis tie for the most stores, and each is far ahead of the next city, Springfield. The names follow each store's mailing address, which matters most around St. Louis: many stores listed under "St. Louis" are actually in unincorporated St. Louis County, outside the city limits.

Missouri Dispensaries by Region

More than half of Missouri's stores are in the St. Louis and Kansas City areas, but licensed dispensaries reach every corner of the state, from the Iowa line to the Bootheel. Regional counts below are based on each store's county.

St. Louis and Eastern Missouri (77 stores)

St. Louis addresses account for 23 stores: 9 inside the City of St. Louis and the rest in St. Louis County with St. Louis mailing addresses. St. Louis County has 41 stores in all, with more in Florissant (3), Chesterfield, Maryland Heights, Ellisville, Valley Park, Kirkwood, Creve Coeur, Clayton, University City, Ferguson and other suburbs. Across the Missouri River, St. Charles County has 16, led by St. Peters (6) and O'Fallon (4), with more in St. Charles, Lake St. Louis, Cottleville, Wentzville and West Alton. Jefferson County has 6 stores, in Festus, Arnold, House Springs, Hillsboro and Pevely, and Washington, Pacific, St. Clair, Warrenton and Troy fill in the outer ring. Illinois, across the Mississippi, has its own legal market, but carrying cannabis over the river is still illegal, because it crosses a state line.

Kansas City Area (49 stores)

Kansas City has 23 stores, spread across three counties: most are in Jackson County, with the rest north of the river in Clay and Platte counties. Jackson County has 29 stores in all, adding Independence (4), Lee's Summit (4), Blue Springs, Grandview and Raytown. Clay County has 9, in Liberty, Gladstone, North Kansas City, Smithville and Excelsior Springs as well as Kansas City, and Platte County has 7, including two microbusiness dispensaries in Platte City. Belton, Raymore and Harrisonville serve Cass County to the south. Kansas has not legalized cannabis for any use, so shoppers who live on the Kansas side of the metro cannot legally take home anything they buy in Missouri. See our Kansas marijuana law guide.

Springfield, Joplin and Southwest Missouri (37 stores)

Springfield, the state's third-largest city, has 9 stores, and Republic, Nixa and Ozark add more nearby. Branson has 3, with more in Hollister and Branson West, so visitors to the Ozarks resort area have several choices. Joplin has 5 stores, and Carthage has one. Near the corners where Missouri meets Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, small towns such as Mindenmines, Pineville and Noel have stores close to the state lines. None of those three neighbors allows adult-use cannabis, and Oklahoma and Arkansas allow only medical use. Nevada, Cassville, Lebanon, Marshfield, Buffalo, Humansville, Mountain Grove and West Plains round out the region. Much of the southern Ozarks is Mark Twain National Forest, where federal law applies.

Columbia, Jefferson City and Central Missouri (29 stores)

Columbia, home of the University of Missouri, has 8 stores, all in Boone County. Jefferson City, the state capital, has 3, all on Missouri Boulevard. At the Lake of the Ozarks, Osage Beach and Sunrise Beach have two stores each, with more in Gravois Mills and Eldon. Sedalia and Warrensburg have two each, and Boonville, Clinton, Mexico and Moberly have one each. Rolla has 2, with more in St. James and St. Robert, next to Fort Leonard Wood. The base is federal property, where cannabis is illegal for soldiers and visitors alike.

Cape Girardeau and Southeast Missouri (22 stores)

Cape Girardeau has 6 stores, the most in Southeast Missouri, and nearby Jackson has one. Sikeston and Poplar Bluff have two each, and Dexter, Perryville, Farmington, Park Hills and Desloge have one each. In the Bootheel, Pemiscot County has 4 stores, in Steele, Hayti and Caruthersville, and Dunklin County has stores in Kennett and Cardwell. Several of those towns are near the Arkansas and Tennessee lines, and neither of those states allows adult-use cannabis.

St. Joseph and Northern Missouri (13 stores)

St. Joseph has 3 stores, and Kirksville, home of Truman State University, has 2. Eagleville, on Interstate 35 near the Iowa line, has 2, and Rock Port, on Interstate 29, has one. Maryville, Cameron, Chillicothe, Hannibal and Taylor, near Quincy, Illinois, have one store each. Iowa allows only a limited medical program, and Nebraska has no licensed dispensary open, so taking Missouri cannabis north is illegal.

How Missouri Licenses Dispensaries: The Division of Cannabis Regulation

Missouri legalized cannabis through two voter-approved constitutional amendments, so its core rules sit in Article XIV of the Missouri Constitution rather than in ordinary statutes. Voters approved medical marijuana with Amendment 2 on November 6, 2018. They approved adult-use cannabis with Amendment 3 on November 8, 2022, and it took effect on December 8, 2022. The Division of Cannabis Regulation, part of the Department of Health and Senior Services, licenses and regulates both programs.

A Missouri store holds one of two kinds of dispensary license:

• Comprehensive dispensary: A store licensed to sell to adult-use customers and to medical patients. 221 of the stores in our directory hold this license. The DCR says it is not accepting new medical or comprehensive license applications.
• Microbusiness dispensary: A smaller license that Amendment 3 created as a path to ownership for people who might not otherwise be able to open a cannabis business, according to the DCR's adult-use FAQ. The DCR awards these licenses by lottery and has run three rounds. 6 microbusiness dispensaries are in our directory, in Platte City, St. Peters, Cape Girardeau, Poplar Bluff and Mountain Grove.

Both kinds of dispensary may deliver to an address the customer chooses, though not every store offers delivery. Under the constitution, a city or county can ban microbusiness dispensaries only if at least 60% of voters approve at a November general election in a presidential election year. The DCR also publishes a Verified Dispensary Locator, so you can confirm a store is licensed before you buy.

Buying Cannabis in Missouri: Age, ID, Limits and Delivery

• Age and ID: You must be 21 or older and show a valid government-issued photo ID. The constitution defines a consumer simply as a person at least 21 years old, with no residency requirement, so visitors can buy.
• Purchase limit: Up to 3 ounces of dried, unprocessed marijuana, or its equivalent in other products, in a single transaction, according to the DCR. Edibles, vapes and concentrates count toward the limit through state equivalency rules.
• Possession: Adults may possess up to 3 ounces at any time. Having more than 3 but no more than 6 ounces is a civil infraction with a fine of up to $250 for a first violation, under Article XIV, Section 2.
• Gifting: An adult may give up to 3 ounces to another adult 21 or older, as long as nothing is received in return.
• Delivery: Comprehensive and microbusiness dispensaries may deliver. Availability depends on the store.
• Hours: Each store sets its own hours, so check the listing before you go.

Growing Cannabis at Home in Missouri

Unlike neighboring Illinois, where only medical patients may grow, Missouri lets any adult 21 or older grow cannabis at home, but only with a personal cultivation card from the DCR. Under Article XIV, Section 2, a card holder may grow 6 flowering plants, 6 nonflowering plants over 14 inches tall and 6 clones under 14 inches. Plants must be kept at one private residence, in an enclosed, locked space that cannot be seen from a public place, and no more than 12 flowering plants may be grown at one residence, however many adults live there. The adult-use card costs $100 a year, adjusted for inflation, and is valid for 12 months. A home grow is for personal use only: selling what you grow without a license is a crime.

Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in Missouri

The medical program under Article XIV, Section 1 still runs alongside adult use. A physician or nurse practitioner must certify that the patient has a qualifying condition, such as cancer, epilepsy, glaucoma, chronic severe pain or PTSD. Patient ID cards are valid for three years, with a $25 fee adjusted for inflation. A patient under 18 needs written consent from a parent or guardian, who holds the card and buys and gives the medicine. The DCR reminds patients that cards issued on or after December 2, 2022 are now coming due for their first renewal.

Patients get three practical advantages. First, lower taxes: medical purchases are taxed at 4%, compared with 6% plus any local tax for adult use. Second, higher limits: patients can generally buy 6 ounces of dried marijuana or its equivalent every 30 days, according to the Missouri Independent, and the constitution sets the possession limit at no less than a 60-day supply. Third, access under 21: the medical program is the only legal way for people under 21 to buy cannabis in Missouri. A patient cultivation card is also available, and the DCR says its fee was reduced to $50 per application. 227 stores in our directory serve medical patients and are shown with a Medical badge.

Missouri Cannabis Taxes and Prices

Missouri's cannabis taxes are set by Article XIV of the constitution and explained by the DCR:

• 6% state tax on the retail price of every adult-use purchase. The revenue pays for veterans' health care, addiction treatment grants and the public defender system.
• Up to 3% local tax, but only with voter approval. Kansas City, St. Louis and Columbia, as well as Jackson, St. Louis and Boone counties, approved local taxes in April 2023, the Missouri Independent reported.
• Regular sales taxes also apply on top of the cannabis taxes, so the total at the register depends on the store's address.
• 4% on medical sales, instead of the adult-use tax.

Cities and counties cannot both charge the 3% on the same sale. On July 22, 2025, the Missouri Supreme Court ruled 6-1 in Robust Missouri Dispensary 3 LLC v. St. Louis County that a county's 3% tax applies only in unincorporated areas when a city inside the county charges its own, according to ABC 17 News. Prices vary from store to store, so compare out-the-door prices, daily deals and first-visit discounts rather than shelf tags.

Where You Can and Cannot Use Cannabis in Missouri

• No public smoking: Smoking marijuana in a public place, other than an area licensed for it, carries a civil penalty of up to $100 under Article XIV, Section 2. The constitution does not define "public place," so treat anywhere open to the public as off limits.
• Private property and rentals: Owners, landlords and businesses may ban marijuana on property they control. A lease signed after December 8, 2022 cannot stop a tenant from lawfully possessing cannabis or using it in ways other than smoking.
• Vehicles: Driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal, and smoking in a moving vehicle is not protected. For adults 21 and older, a conviction cannot rest only on the presence of THC or its metabolites; the state must show actual impairment.
• Federal land: Cannabis is illegal in Mark Twain National Forest, at Fort Leonard Wood and Whiteman Air Force Base, and on other federal property. Our federal marijuana law guide explains why.
• Airports and state lines: The TSA follows federal law and refers cannabis found at screening to police, including at St. Louis and Kansas City airports. Taking cannabis across any state line is illegal, even into Illinois, which has its own legal market. Compare the rules in every state's cannabis laws.
• Hemp THC products: Under HB 2641, signed in April 2026, Missouri treats hemp-derived cannabinoid products as marijuana starting November 12, 2026, so they may be sold only by state-licensed marijuana businesses.
