Because marijuana can cause a lack of coordination, dizziness, and drowsiness, amongst other side effects, it is recommended that you exercise caution when under the influence. The full extent of drug interactions with cannabis are unknown.

According to Israel’s Ministry of Health, “Cannabis is known to have a cumulative effect with opiates, alcohol, and anesthetic drugs.”

Cannabis may interact with anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications. This may increase your risk of bleeding or decrease effectiveness of these medications. Certain medications may inhibit the metabolism of cannabis.

Please consult with your physician before consuming marijuana.

People who are or may become pregnant or are breastfeeding should avoid using marijuana as it may cause pregnancy complications, harm your baby’s development, and result in a lower birth weight.

Please consult with your physician before consuming marijuana.

Secondhand smoke from marijuana can have psychoactive effects, and should be avoided for all children.

Side effects from marijuana consumption are possible, especially when using products with high THC levels. Reported symptoms include anxiety and paranoia, and in rare cases, an extreme psychotic reaction which can include delusions and hallucinations. If this occurs, please seek treatment at your closest emergency room. There is also the risk of poisoning when consuming marijuana, as with any other product. If you believe you are experiencing poisoning, please contact the nearest poison control center.

On November 6, 2018, 65% of Missouri voters passed Amendment 2, legalizing the medical use of marijuana for qualifying Missouri patients. Amendment 2 became Article XIV of the Missouri Constitution, effective December 6, 2018, and granted the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) the authority and responsibility to create a well-regulated program to ensure the availability of and safe access to medical marijuana. Thus, the Section for Medical Marijuana Regulation (SMMR) was created within DHSS to oversee the Medical Marijuana Regulatory Program (MMRP). Today, Missouri’s marijuana program is regulated by the Division of Cannabis Regulation (DCR).

Per 19 CSR 100-1.040, no qualifying patient shall smoke marijuana product for medical use in a public place, unless otherwise provided by law. 

The provisions for medical use of marijuana in Article XIV specifically allows:

• Missouri licensed physicians (MD and DO) and nurse practitioners the right to discuss medical marijuana with their patients.
• Physicians and nurse practitioners the right to recommend marijuana for medical purposes to patients with qualifying medical conditions. 
• Patients the right to discuss medical marijuana with their physician or nurse practitioners and to use marijuana under the supervision of their physician.

Adult Use (recreational) cannabis sales began in February 2023, making it legal for those 21+ to legally purchase. Recreational consumers are now able to possess up to three ounces of cannabis. For medical patients, the monthly allotment increased from four ounces to six ounces.
