About Us
Section 1. Right to Access Medical Marijuana 1. Purposes This section is intended to permit state-licensed physicians to recommend marijuana for medical purposes to patients with serious illnesses and medical conditions. The section allows patients with qualifying medical conditions the right to discuss freely with their physicians the possible benefits of medical marijuana use, the right of their physicians to provide professional advice concerning the same, and the right to use medical marijuana for treatment under the supervision of a physician.
This section is intended to make only those changes to Missouri laws that are necessary to protect patients, their primary caregivers, and their physicians from civil and criminal penalties, and to allow for the limited legal production, distribution, sale and purchase of marijuana for medical use. This section is not intended to change current civil and criminal laws governing the use of marijuana for nonmedical purposes. The section does not allow for the public use of marijuana and driving under the influence of marijuana.
3. Creating Patient Access to Medical Marijuana 1) In carrying out the implementation of this section, the Department shall have the authority to: a. Grant or refuse state licenses and certifications for the cultivation, manufacture, dispensing, sale, testing, tracking, and transportation of marijuana for medical use as provided by law; suspend, fine, restrict, or revoke such licenses and certifications upon a violation of this section or a rule promulgated pursuant to this section: and impose any administrative penalty authorized by this section or any rule promulgated pursuant to this section.
b. Promulgate rules and emergency rules necessary for the proper regulation and control of the cultivation, manufacture, dispensing, and sale of marijuana for medical use and for the enforcement of this section so long as patient access is not restricted unreasonably and such rules are reasonably necessary for patient safety or to restrict access to only licensees and Qualifying Patients. c. Develop such forms, certificates, licenses, identification cards, and applications as are necessary for, or reasonably related to, the administration of this section or any of the rules promulgated under this section: d. Require
a seed-to-sale tracking system that tracks medical marijuana from either the seed or immature plant stage until the medical marijuana or medical marijuana-infused product is sold to a Qualifying Patient or Primary Caregiver to ensure that no medical marijuana grown by a Medical Marijuana Cultivation Facility or manufactured by a Medical Marijuana-Infused Products Manufacturing Facility is sold or otherwise transferred except by a Medical Marijuana Dispensary Facility. The Department shall certify, if possible, at least two commercially available systems to licensees as compliant with its tracking standards and issue standards for the creation or use of other systems by licensees.
e. Issue standards for the secure transportation of Marijuana and Marijuana-Infused Products. The Department shall certify entities which demonstrate compliance with its transportation standards to transport Marijuana and Marijuana-Infused Products to a Medical Marijuana Cultivation Facility, a Medical Marijuana-Infused Products Manufacturing Facility, a Medical Marijuana Dispensary Facility, a Medical Marijuana Testing Facility, or another entity with a transportation certification.
The Department shall develop or adopt from any other governmental agency such safety and security standards as are reasonably necessary for the transportation of marijuana. Any entity licensed or certified pursuant to this section shall be allowed to transport cannabis. f. The Department may charge a fee not to exceed $5,000 for any certification issued pursuant to this section. g. Prepare and transmit annually a publicly available report accounting to the Governor for the efficient discharge of all responsibilities assigned to the Department under this section; h. Establish
a system to numerically score competing medical marijuana licensee and certificate applicants, only in cases where more applicants apply than the minimum number of licenses or certificates as calculated by this section, which scoring shall be limited to an analysis of the following: (i) the character, veracity, background, qualifications, and relevant experience of principal officers or managers: (ii) the business plan proposed by the applicant, which in the case of cultivation facilities and dispensaries shall include the ability to maintain an adequate supply of marijuana, plans to ensure safety and security of Qualifying Patients and the community, procedures to be used to prevent diversion, and any plan for making Marijuana available to low-income Qualifying Patients: (iii) site security: (iv) experience in a legal cannabis market: (v) in the case of Medical Marijuana Testing Facilities, the experience of their personnel with testing marijuana, food or drugs for toxins and/or potency and health care industry experience: (vi) the potential for positive economic impact in the site community: (vii) in the case of Medical Marijuana Cultivation Facilities, capacity or experience with agriculture, horticulture, and health care; (viii) in the case of Medical Marijuana Dispensary Facilities, capacity or experience with health care, the suitability of the proposed location, and its accessibility for patients; (ix) in the case of Medical Marijuana-Infused Products Manufacturing Facilities, capacity or experience with food and beverage manufacturing; and (x) maintaining competitiveness in the marijuana for medical use marketplace.
In ranking applicants and awarding licenses and certificates, the Department may consult or contract with other public agencies with relevant expertise regarding these factors. The Department shall lift or ease any limit on the number of licensees or certificate holders in order to meet the demand for marijuana for medical use by Qualifying Patients.
