How Much Should a Soulard Patient Budget for a Medical Marijuana Card in 2026?

For most Soulard patients, the overall expense consists of two primary components: the provider's medical evaluation and the Missouri patient application.

Soulard and the City of St. Louis do not impose a separate neighborhood medical marijuana registration fee.

Expected Medical Evaluation Pricing

Medical providers determine their own consultation rates.

Patients may encounter:

• Promotional medical cannabis evaluations beginning around $20
• Standard consultations priced at higher amounts
• Different fees for first-time certification and recertification

 

Patients should confirm what an advertised appointment price covers before scheduling.

The consultation charge is separate from Missouri's registration fee unless the provider specifically states otherwise.

Missouri's Current Patient Registration Charges

For the July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 fee period:

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

 

Because qualifying cannabis program fees may change in future periods, applicants should verify the current amounts when submitting a later application.

Additional Expenses Soulard Patients May Need to Consider

The total cost of participating in Missouri's medical cannabis program can extend beyond the first evaluation and patient registration.

Possible expenses include:

• Initial medical certification or future recertification
• Missouri patient registration
• Patient cultivation authorization
• Cannabis purchased from licensed dispensaries
• Future medical evaluations
• State renewal charges

 

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