No, you don't need a medical card at either one

Where the card question comes from

Missouri ran a medical-only market before adult-use sales began, and a lot of people never updated their mental model. The card still exists and still carries real benefits for patients, including different purchase limits. It stopped being the price of entry some time ago.

Anyone 21 or over with a valid government ID can buy there, at our store, or at any of the licensed dispensaries operating between us. The ID gets checked every visit, no exceptions, and that part is not negotiable at any door.

Two stores, 1.6 miles apart

The Forest holds licence DIS000231 at 3016 S Grand Blvd. We hold DIS000060. The straight-line gap is 1.6 miles.

South Grand and our end of the map serve genuinely different sides of the city. Tower Grove South sits closer to them; the Grove and the blocks north of Chouteau sit closer to us. If you're picking on drive time alone, your own address settles it faster than this page can.

The hours diverge more than the distance does

The South Grand store runs Sunday through Wednesday from 9 AM to 7 PM, then Thursday through Saturday from 9 AM to 9 PM. Our doors open at 7 AM Monday through Saturday and close at 10 PM.

So for early shoppers we're open two hours ahead of them six days a week, and we stay open later every night except Sunday. If your shopping happens at the edges of the day, that gap is the entire comparison. If you shop at two in the afternoon, it's irrelevant and you should pick on something else.

What the shelves lean toward

They list ten categories: flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vapes, cartridges, concentrates, tinctures, topicals, accessories and apparel. It holds a 4.9 rating across 668 Google reviews as of the 1 September scan, which is the highest average among the stores nearest to us.

Our roster runs flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vapes, concentrates, topicals, CBD and accessories from 119 Missouri cultivators and manufacturers. We don't carry apparel, and we're not planning to.

Between two licensed stores in the same city, the honest answer is that the overlap is large and the difference is which cultivators each buyer commits to. That changes week to week, which is why the live menu beats any written comparison.

If you'd rather not drive at all

Delivery runs seven days a week from 9 AM to 7 PM, flat $10, waived over $75, typically arriving in 60 to 90 minutes. Availability is confirmed when you check out, and the delivery page lists the approved ZIP codes.

You can confirm any dispensary's licence, ours and theirs alike, on the state register, and we have written up the nineteen stores closest to us. It's the fastest way to tell a licensed store from an unlicensed one, and it takes about ten seconds.
