In Missouri, anyone who makes, sells, or hands out controlled substances (like certain medications or drugs) must first get a registration from the state health department. That registration lasts no more than three years, and a separate registration is needed for each location where someone does that work. Some people do not need to register — like regular employees of a registered business, delivery or warehouse workers handling the substances as part of their job, or patients who have a lawful prescription.
