Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:48:01 GMT

ST. LOUIS - After Missouri voters passed Amendment 3 to legalize the sale of recreational marijuana in the state, locals are now wondering if they can legally grow marijuana plants. The Missouri Department of Health and Human Services began accepting applications for personal cultivation cards on Feb. 6, 2023. Applicants have to be at least 21 years old, have two government issued photo IDs, submit a recently-taken color picture, and pay an $100 application fee to grow privately. Violent twist follows parents’ intervention on daughter’s Snapchat sessions Flowering plants are only allowed to grow up to 14 inches tall, and DHHS will have full access to any applicants' personal growing area if asked. Each grower must have their own license and are not allowed to share the license, even if the two live together. The state recently surpassed $1 billion in legal marijuana sales.

The Avalanche is one year removed from hoisting the Stanley Cup, and already favored to do so again next year.

It can make anybody sick, triggering headaches, chest pains and shortness of breath. Children, pregnant people and the elderly are particularly susceptible.The smoke and particulates can work their way into circulation systems indoors as well, and air filters are an effective way of combating that worsening air quality. So Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado and two other Democrats introduced a bill Tuesday that would offer millions of dollars in grants for personal and community air filters.Related ArticlesPolitics | Broadway’s Denée Benton calls Ron De...
