Let’s get right into what you can find at MO dispensaries as of the time this post was written.
Cannabis Flower/Buds
By far the most popular cannabis format among consumers and medical marijuana patients is flower. Flower is the natural choice for a number of reasons. It is the most familiar format to more experienced cannabis users who have traditionally found their products in legacy markets, and it is generally the most affordable option because it requires the least amount of processing.
Some people, however, don’t want to inhale marijuana smoke into their lungs. And while many find the pungent odor and flavor pleasant, other cannabis consumers do not enjoy the flower experience.
Pros of Cannabis Flower
Most familiar format
Least amount of processing
Arguably the most aesthetically pleasing
Affordable
Greatest strain variety
Cons of Cannabis Flower
Pungent odor that may linger on clothes
Requires more preparation
Some may not want to inhale smoke into their lungs

Pineapple Gelato
Black Garlic
Rainmaker
Critical Mass
Vape Pens
Vape Pens are a recent addition to the Missouri medical marijuana market, and their popularity is making it difficult for dispensaries to match supply with demand. As of right now, most dispensaries only have a couple of strains to choose from, like Bubba Fett and White 99. However, this will likely change as processors begin to harvest and manufacture new products.
The nice thing about vape pens is that they are convenient and transportable. You can stick your vape pen in your purse or pocket, and pull it out to use whenever you’re ready. Vape pens do still have a pungent odor and flavor, but they are generally much smoother and the smoke does not linger.
Pros of Vape Pens
Convenient
Portable
No preparation
Smoother than flower
Milder, lighter odor
May be safer than inhaling burning cannabis
Higher concentration of THC
Cons of Vape Pens
Still requires inhaling cannabis vapor
More expensive than flower
Selection is still limited
Not available everywhere yet

Other Concentrates: Shatter and Crumble
Other concentrates are showing up in dispensaries in shatter and crumble formats from MOJO Missouri Joint Ventures). As of the time this post was written, LSD is the only strain that crumble and shatter are available in. These formats are made with the same basic process all the way up to the finish.
Shatter is glasslike, and you can crumble it into your joints, bowls and vaporizers, or even into your smoothie. Crumble is much similar, except it is more of a … well … crumble. It has more moisture and is more malleable, so you can press it into a ball and stick it into your pipe.
Just be careful. Shatter and crumble are generally far more potent than most of the products out there.
Pros of Concentrates: Shatter and Crumble
Extremely potent - A little goes a long way
Fun to have at parties - Impress your friends with weed that looks like glass
Versatile - Ready to be vaped, smoked, or mixed into your breakfast
Cons of Concentrates: Shatter and Crumble
More expensive
Lots of processing involved
Less availability
Inconvenient
Not a great product for beginners

Cannabis Edibles
Edibles are one of the most convenient and discreet ways to get your daily dose of THC therapy, but they are also often misunderstood. General cannabis consumers and medical marijuana patients alike are often intimidated by the idea of using edibles because of the horror stories they hear about people getting too high.
However, if you start low and go slow, edibles could become your new favorite format. They do not come with an odor when you use them, they last longer, and may be more effective at reducing general body aches and pains.
Check out this guide to using edibles for more information on how to start incorporating all sorts of edibles, including ones you can make yourself, into your routine.
Pros of Edibles
Discreet
Fun
Wide Variety
Easy to DIY
Portable
Lasts four or more hours
Cons of Edibles
Difficult to control
Takes time to adjust
Lasts four or more hours

One thing that MO cannabis suppliers know medical marijuana patients appreciate is convenience. It may cost a little more, but you never have to learn how to roll a joint or get your fingers sticky packing a bowl with the products currently on the shelves in Missouri dispensaries.
