What Does a Medical Marijuana Card Cost in Tower Grove South in 2026?

For a Tower Grove South patient, the overall cost usually comes from two separate parts: the provider's medical certification appointment and the state patient application.

Neither Tower Grove South nor the City of St. Louis adds a separate neighborhood-level patient card fee.

Medical Evaluation Price

Medical evaluation prices are set by the provider rather than by the state.

Patients may see:

• Promotional evaluations beginning around $20
• Standard evaluations at higher prices
• Different rates for initial certification and recertification

 

Before scheduling, patients should confirm exactly what the advertised price covers.

The consultation fee is separate from Missouri's patient application charge unless a provider clearly states otherwise.

Missouri Patient Registration Fee

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 Missouri periodically adjusts qualifying cannabis fees, applicants using this information in a later fee period should confirm the current amount before paying.

Other Expenses Tower Grove South Patients Should Consider

The total cost of participating in the medical cannabis program can include more than the first evaluation and patient application.

Possible expenses include:

• The medical certification appointment
• Missouri's patient application fee
• Cultivation authorization
• Cannabis purchased from licensed dispensaries
• Future medical recertification
• State renewal charges

 

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