Missouri regulates the purchase of medical marijuana in the following amounts:
Every state has different cannabis purchase limitations. We look forward to the day that all can buy whatever bounty of weed they please!

Knowing the purchase limit helps you operate compliantly once licensed for a dispensary in Missouri, and helps with financial planning for your daily dispensary sales.
