Get Your Missouri Medical Marijuana Card

Opting for medical instead of recreational marijuana in Missouri could save you almost $2000 annually in cannabis costs.

MMJ is cheaper than recreational marijuana in Missouri. The average price difference between an ounce of medical and recreational marijuana is $140 (Medical at $364 per ounce and recreational at $504). Moreover, medical marijuana is subject to a lower sales tax of 4% compared to 6% for recreational cannabis.

Suppose you consume an ounce of marijuana in a month. Medical marijuana would cost you only $378.56 (product + 4% sales tax), while the recreational option would have you spend $534.24 (product + 6% sales tax.) That translates to $155.68 in monthly savings or $1,868.16 a year!
