Final draft rules. They added that despensaries can only sell seeds produced in Missouri cultivation facility’s; and to those medical patients/caregivers who have also acquired their home grow license which become available around November. https://health.mo.gov/safety/medical-marijuana/rules.php

“home growing license”…what’s that? Is there an extra process people must do in addition to getting their medical card? That sucks.

Separate cards and fees. The limitations of the size of home grown plant is ridiculous. I expect autoflowers will be a vaulable commodity in Missouri home grows.

The plant count doesn’t look bad - 6 flowering with allowance for more seedlings & clones. I couldn’t find the canopy limit - what is it? Also, outdoor plants cannot be visible from adjacent properties - that sucks and is not what other legal states have. The rule is that plants cannot be visible from public land.
But I really don’t like additonal application processes, fees, & levels of harassment. People with chronic illness are usually poor and locked in a constant battle with insurance companies and medical system to get the help they need. To add another layer of bureaucracy to these peoples’ lives seems callous to the point of cruelty IMO.

(4) Qualifying Patient Cultivation.
(A) All qualifying patient cultivation shall take place in an enclosed, locked facility, as defined
in 19 CSR 30-95.010.
(B) One (1) qualifying patient may cultivate up to six (6) flowering marijuana plants and six (6)
nonflowering marijuana plants at any given time in a single, enclosed locked facility. Two (2)
qualifying patients, who both hold valid qualifying patient cultivation identification cards, may
share one (1) enclosed, locked facility. No more than twelve (12) flowering marijuana plants
and twelve (12) nonflowering plants may be cultivated in a single, enclosed locked facility,
except when one (1) of the qualifying patients, as a primary caregiver, also holds a patient
cultivation identification card for a third qualifying patient, in which case that primary caregiver
may cultivate six (6) additional flowering marijuana plants and six (6) additional nonflowering
marijuana plants for a total of eighteen (18) flowering marijuana plants and eighteen (18)
nonflowering marijuana plants in a single, enclosed locked facility.
© Under no circumstance will a qualifying patient be entitled to cultivate, or have cultivated
on his or her behalf, more than six (6) flowering marijuana plants.
(D) Nothing in this section shall convey or establish a right to cultivate medical marijuana in a
facility where state law or a private contract would otherwise prohibit doing so.
(E) All cultivated flowering marijuana plants in the possession of a qualifying patient or
primary caregiver shall be clearly labeled with the qualifying patient’s name.
(F) The department shall provide each qualifying patient or primary caregiver who receives a
qualifying patient cultivation identification card with a cultivation authorization, which shall be
clearly displayed within the enclosed cultivation area and in close proximity to the marijuana
plants. The authorization shall list the name of the qualifying patient or primary caregiver and
the address of the facility in which that qualifying patient or primary caregiver is authorized to
cultivate marijuana.
Here where it get tricky 
(5) Purchase and Possession Limitations.
(A) Qualifying patients may only purchase, or have purchased on their behalf by their primary
caregivers, four (4) ounces of dried, unprocessed marijuana per qualifying patient, or its
equivalent, in a thirty- (30-) day period.
(B) Qualifying patients may only possess, or instruct a primary caregiver to possess on their
behalf—
- In the case of qualifying patients who do not cultivate or have medical marijuana cultivated
on their behalf, up to a sixty- (60-) day supply of dried, unprocessed marijuana per qualifying
patient, or its equivalent; or - In the case of qualifying patients who are cultivating marijuana for medical use or whose
primary caregivers are cultivating marijuana on their behalf, up to a ninety- (90-) day supply of
dried, unprocessed marijuana or its equivalent, so long as the supply of medical marijuana
cultivated by the qualifying patients or primary caregivers remains on property under their
control.
© All medical marijuana purchased from a dispensary must be stored in or with its original
packaging.
(D) Primary caregivers may possess a separate legal limit for each qualifying patient under their
care and a separate legal limit for themselves if they are a qualifying patient, each of which shall
be stored separately for each qualifying patient and labeled with the qualifying patient’s name.(E) Purchase and possession limits established in this section shall not apply to a qualifying
patient with written certification from two (2) independent physicians that there are compelling
reasons why the qualifying patient needs a greater amount than the limits established in this
section. - In such a case, both independent physicians must state in their certifications what amount
the qualifying patient requires, which shall then be that patient’s limit. - If the two (2) independent physicians disagree on what amount should be the patient’s limit,
the lower of the two (2) amounts shall be that patient’s limit. - If the patient’s limit is increased after receiving a qualifying patient identification card, the
qualifying patient or primary caregiver shall notify the department in a department-provided
format within ten (10) days of the change.
Looks like they took it out of the final rules. It was apart of the draft rules. The changed it to a restriction of a 90 day supply which at 4 oz a month isnt too bad.

So whats this? The doctor decides how much you grow based on what your prescribed on a monthly basis.
In my personal opinion legal home growers should have right to get the product tested and sell overflow to a dispensary.
But they only specify possesion limitations of dry flower. Extracts are not listed anywhere. So that would be another option.

You think MO is bad, I was checking on NJ for my aunt. The only people that are benefiting from MMJ in NJ are the Dr’s that will authorize. One article said that when all is said and done a patient will end up shelling out $1000 in the first 90 days for appointment, fees and flower. Oh, and then you have to go BACK to the Dr at the end of the 90 days to “see how effective it was” (in other words, give you “permission” to continue) and, there is absolutely NO HOME GROWING ALLOWED.

Thats horrible dude. Sorry to hear that but we will technically have to do the same thing. It all depends on the doctor you see.

Well, this was inevitable.
I have a hunch that there will be similar “investment” schemes exposed.
Greed is a powerful inducement.

Excerpted from piece below.
While illegal marijuana retails for around $300 an ounce, quality hops retails for around $2 to $3 an ounce. This is likely how much fully legal marijuana would sell for if it were subject to no special taxes or regulations. Even with generous consumption estimates, that puts the entire American retail market for marijuana flower at around $1 billion, which is roughly what we spend at the grocery store on spices and just a fourth of what we spend on chewing gum.
Hmmmm?

It does not bother me when a little plant takes down big money 
Let the investors pour their cash into it. Plants don’t need money.
