Registering for a consultation is quick and easy and the telemedicine tool allows you to see the doctor from the comfort of your own home at a time that is convenient for you.

4/29/20 – Missouri Marijuana Dispensaries to Open Mid-Summer, DHSS Director Says.  Medical marijuana has technically been legal in Missouri since January 1, but dispensaries have been unable to open until they meet seed-to-sale requirements that mandate that marijuana sold in Missouri must be grown from seeds starting from the time that medical marijuana is officially legal.  And with coronavirus lockdowns affecting, well, everything, it has been unclear when the dispensaries will be able to open, or even when inspectors will be able to have a look at the sites where marijuana will be sold in order to give them the OK.
Dr. Randall W. Williams, director of Missouri’s Department of Health and Senior Services, shed some light on that subject this afternoon in response to a question from a reporter during today’s coronavirus briefing.  While he admits that medical marijuana has been only a tiny fraction of his concern in light of the pandemic (an understandable position), he says that inspectors will be able to head to the dispensary sites starting on May 4, when the state’s stay-at-home order is lifted. He says further that the dispensaries are currently looking at opening mid-summer, which he then clarifies would mean “late July, early August.”
