What Should a Shaw Resident Budget for a Medical Marijuana Card in 2026?

The total cost generally includes at least two separate charges: the medical certification appointment and Missouri's state patient application fee.
Shaw itself does not impose an additional medical marijuana card fee.

What Could the Medical Evaluation Cost?

The provider establishes the consultation price.
Depending on the service, patients may encounter:

• Promotional evaluations beginning around $20
• Standard consultations at higher rates
• Different prices for new certifications and renewals

 

Patients should confirm what an advertised price includes before scheduling.
The consultation fee should not be confused with Missouri's separate patient registration charge.

What Are Missouri's Current Registration Fees?

For July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027:

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

 

These fees are subject to Missouri's applicable annual CPI adjustment process.

What Other Expenses Could a Shaw Medical Patient Have?

Depending on the individual's situation, medical cannabis costs may also include:

• Initial medical certification
• Missouri patient registration
• Cultivation authorization
• Cannabis purchased through licensed dispensaries
• Future medical recertification
• Patient ID renewal

 

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