Article XIV of the Missouri Constitution, which authorizes the medical use of marijuana in Missouri, does not reference or prohibit the possession or purchase of firearms. However, federal law still may prohibit the possession or purchase of a firearm by individuals who use marijuana, regardless of whether a state has legalized marijuana for medical use. The Department of Health and Senior Services does not regulate the possession or purchase of firearms and therefore cannot say how the federal prohibition will be enforced within Missouri. Specific questions about these federal firearm restrictions should be directed to your attorney or the appropriate law enforcement agency.

In contrast to most states with valid medical marijuana programs in the United States, the Oklahoma program does not identify a specific list of qualifying conditions. A physician may certify a patient if they are convinced that the use of medical marijuana will be an appropriate treatment for that patient’s particular medical condition.
Several Oklahoma-licensed physicians may use other states’ lists of qualifying conditions as a viable metric when determining whether a patient would benefit from the use of medical marijuana for a specific condition, although determination is at the discretion of the physician.
The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) is currently overseeing the entirety of the state’s medical marijuana program. This includes all applications related to patients, caregivers, growers, processors, transporters and dispensaries.

The information discussed in Texas Occupations Code §169.001 specifically excludes smoking from the definition of “medical use.
A patient’s participation in CUP does not disqualify the individual from obtaining or maintaining a License to Carry (LTC). Notwithstanding that certain medical marijuana programs have been determined by the FBI to disqualify an individual from possessing firearms, the department does not believe this determination applies to Texas’ low-THC cannabis, Compassionate Use Program.
However, the individual’s underlying condition that is the basis for participation in CUP may under certain circumstances be disqualifying. If the medical condition potentially affects the individual’s ability to exercise sound judgment, the department may refer the matter to the Medical Advisory Board (DSHS) for their review and recommendation. Should the Board find the individual “incapable of exercising sound judgment with respect to the proper use and storage of a handgun,” the department would deny an application or revoke a current LTC.
