No Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in Tri-County Region

The Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) released the names of the 192 licenses for medical marijuana dispensary facilities.

Per Article XIV, 24 dispensary facilities will be licensed per congressional district in Missouri. Missouri is divided into eight congressional districts. Twenty-four licenses were awarded in the 8th District. No licenses were awarded in Iron, Reynolds, or Wayne counties. Within a 45-minute drive, there were licenses issued to businesses in Park Hills, Farmington, Fredericktown, Poplar Bluff, and Salem.

“We are committed to making medical marijuana safe and accessible for qualified patients of Missouri,” said Lyndall Fraker, director of the DHSS Section for Medical Marijuana Regulation. “This phase of program implementation is vital to product accessibility for Missourians throughout the entire state.”

Dispensary facilities whose applications are approved will receive notification of that approval to the email addresses of the individual who created the User Account in the Medical Marijuana Registry Portal, the individual listed in the application as the Primary Contact, and at least one other individual identified in the application.

Notifications of application denial will be issued as well. Denial notifications will be sent to the individual who created the User Account in the Medical Marijuana Registry Portal.

The 192 facilities being licensed are the top-scoring dispensary facilities that meet all eligibility requirements as prescribed by the program rules.
