No source.
No certainty.
You should not have to take a directory at its word. Here is where the records come from, how we handle uncertainty, and what we do not claim.
A narrow, named source.
The directory reads the public feature layer behind Missouri DCR’s Verified Dispensary Locator. Only records with a micro-dispensary license identifier are included. There is no separately maintained copy of MOGanja’s business database.

Maintained by Missouri DHSS/DCR and published through ArcGIS. It includes more than the microbusiness category.

Different labels.
Listed in DCR’s locator
The facility was present in the source when the record was retrieved. This is not our independent verification of its current license or opening status.
Approval evidence
“Explicitly approved” or “Not approved” appears only when an approval field is present in the source. Missing or unrecognized values remain “Not supplied by source.”
Storefront opening
All records in this release are marked “Not independently verified.” There are no “open now” badges or inferred business hours.
A fetch is not an update.
Source publication date is the date supplied by the upstream record. Retrieved date is when our application successfully read it. We keep these dates separate and do not replace a missing source date with today’s date.
Successful responses are cached for approximately one hour. A failed refresh does not make an older record current. A retained response is marked stale; after seven days it is withheld. If no valid records are available, the site displays an explicit source-unavailable state rather than an invented zero statewide count.
The site does not promise that DCR updates its underlying data every hour. Cached responses may be served briefly while a refresh takes place.
What we are not claiming.
No independent confirmation of ownership, opening hours, inventory, menus, customer reviews, or product quality. No claims that every issued microbusiness license is represented. No owner portraits or stories without permission and evidence.
Missouri Micro is an independent Lucid Ventures publication. It is not a government service, a dispensary, or a legal adviser.
