Is it legal to grow pot plants in Missouri?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:01:02 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.

Is Denver the new Titletown, USA? After Nuggets championship, an argument could be made.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:01:02 GMT

Has there ever been a better time to be a Denver sports fan?The Nuggets are champions for the first time, and primed to compete for even more NBA titles as long as Nikola Jokic is willing to lead them. The Avalanche is one year removed from hoisting the Stanley Cup, and already favored to do so again next year. Head coach Sean Payton has arrived in Broncos Country with the promise of better days ahead.And the Rockies … well, Coors Field sure is a nice place to watch a game!All jokes aside, winnow it down to the four major sports, and it becomes clear that Denver has a case as the new Titletown, U.S.A. — with all apologies to the Green Bay Packers, who actually trademarked the phrase.Since the Avalanche arrived on the Front Range in 1995-96 to give the Front Range teams in all four major sports, downtown Denver has hosted seven championship parades. That number trails only Boston (12), Los Angeles (12) and Chicago (8) for most major sports titles over that time. And now that th...

Federal bill would offer grants for air filters to combat wildfire smoke, particulate matter

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:01:02 GMT

While wildfires continue to ravage Canadian forests and their smoke blankets American cities – even covering New York City in a dense, yellow haze – Democratic lawmakers in Congress want to provide more air filters across the country.Smoke and particulate matter from the wildfires can penetrate respiratory symptoms, exacerbating chronic heart and lung diseases, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 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...
