Missouri allows licensed dispensaries to deliver adult-use and medical cannabis to consumers via the Division of Cannabis Regulation's Comprehensive Marijuana Delivery rules. Kansas City permits delivery citywide subject to state vehicle, manifest, and ID-verification requirements.
Under DCR rules implementing Missouri Constitution Article XIV, only state-licensed dispensaries (or their contracted transporters) may deliver cannabis to consumers. Each delivery vehicle must carry a manifest, two agents are required for transport above set value thresholds, and product must be in tamper-evident packaging. Drivers verify recipient ID at the door, and deliveries are limited to private residences within the dispensary's licensed jurisdiction. Kansas City does not separately license cannabis delivery, but vehicles must comply with KCMO traffic and parking rules. Recreational sales tax (state 6% plus up to 3% local) applies; KC voters approved the 3% local cannabis sales tax in April 2023.
Unlicensed delivery, missing manifests, or selling to minors can lead to DCR license revocation, civil penalties up to $5,000 per violation, and felony charges under Mo. Rev. Stat. 579.015 for unlicensed distribution.
