ID at the front desk
A valid government photo ID gets you past the front screening area, and this page of our Missouri dispensary guide covers what to bring. The regulator's examples are any US driver's license, a Missouri ID, a US passport book or card and a US military or dependent ID.
Under 21 stays at the front unless they're a patient or with a parent or guardian who is a patient, caregiver or adult shopper, and a store can still say no to kids. In St. Louis, stores post a sign that photo ID showing you're 21 is required.

Store's call. Dispensaries may accept an equivalent card from another state, but don't have to.
