How Much Should Carondelet Residents Budget for a Medical Marijuana Card in 2026?

The total expense of becoming a Missouri medical cannabis patient generally includes two distinct costs: the medical certification appointment and Missouri's patient registration fee. There is no separate medical marijuana card fee imposed by the Carondelet neighborhood.

What Might the Medical Evaluation Cost?

Medical providers establish their own appointment prices.

Depending on the provider, patients may see:

• Promotional evaluations starting around $20
• Standard consultations at higher rates
• Different pricing for initial evaluations and recertifications

 

Patients should confirm exactly what is included before booking an appointment.

The provider's fee and Missouri's patient application fee are separate charges.

What Are Missouri's State Fees for 2026?

For July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027:

• Patient ID card: $28.92
• Caregiver ID card: $28.92
• Patient cultivation authorization: $57.83

Missouri adjusts certain cannabis fees based on Consumer Price Index changes, so patients applying during a future fee period should verify the amount before submitting payment.

What Other Expenses Could a Carondelet Patient Have?

Depending on the individual's circumstances, the total cost of participating in Missouri's medical cannabis program may also include:

• Medical certification or recertification
• State patient registration
• Cultivation authorization
• Cannabis purchased from licensed dispensaries
• Future patient renewal charges

 

Because Missouri patient identification cards are currently generally valid for three years, Carondelet patients do not ordinarily pay the patient ID renewal fee every year.
