Missouri Medical Marijuana Qualifying Conditions

Who Determines Eligibility in Missouri?

Missouri does not restrict patient certification to a fixed list of diagnoses. A Missouri-licensed physician decides, in their professional judgment, whether medical marijuana may help your condition. Patients must be Missouri residents; minors apply through a parent or legal guardian acting as caregiver. Physician certification is required but does not guarantee the state will approve the application.

Does Missouri Have a Fixed Conditions List?

Use the state program's current criteria rather than a generic national checklist.

• Missouri has no fixed statutory list of qualifying diagnoses.
• The certifying physician decides, in their professional judgment, whether medical marijuana could benefit your condition.
• Patients commonly discuss chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety, cancer-related symptoms and seizure disorders, but examples are not promises of eligibility.
• The state still requires a valid physician certification, a complete application and compliance with program rules.

Verify the Current Criteria

Review Missouri's official eligibility guidance for the full requirements. Having a diagnosis mentioned here is not an assurance that the physician will recommend or certify you.

Records That Can Help

Bring diagnosis notes, specialist summaries and information about treatments tried. The physician assesses whether the legal criteria and clinical considerations apply to your individual circumstances.

If You Receive a Recommendation

Create an account in the state's online registry and submit your patient application with identification and a photograph. Pay the state application fee and watch for approval or correction requests. The state generally processes complete applications within 30 days.
