About Canna Answers
Helping Missouri Navigate Cannabis Since 2019
I’m Deb Nash, founder of Canna Answers. What started with helping Missouri patients understand medical marijuana applications and state rules has grown into a statewide cannabis information, services, and community resource.
Today, Canna Answers helps patients get medical cards, connects patients and caregivers, supports Missouri microbusiness owners, tracks cannabis-friendly events, explains regulations in plain English, and helps people find the right resources when they are not sure where to start.
What We Do
More Than Medical Cards
Medical cannabis patient services remain at the heart of Canna Answers, but the platform has grown to serve patients, caregivers, cannabis consumers, small businesses, community organizations, and Missouri microbusiness licensees.
Medical Marijuana Cards
New patient certifications, renewals, cultivation authorization, high-dose certifications when medically appropriate, state applications, and portal assistance.
Caregiver Connections
A growing Missouri resource designed to help patients understand caregiver options and connect with caregivers who choose to participate in the directory.
Microbusiness Resources
Resources, referrals, consulting, and a growing professional directory for Missouri microbusiness owners moving from licensing into buildout and operations.
Missouri Cannabis Rules
Plain-English explanations of patient, caregiver, cultivation, possession, purchasing, and other Missouri cannabis rules.
Missouri Cannabis Calendar
Hundreds of cannabis-friendly events, classes, lounges, vendor days, advocacy events, social gatherings, and community activities collected in one place.
Projects & Problem Solving
Research, resource development, application help, website and content projects, referrals, community connections, and custom cannabis-related support.
The Story
How Canna Answers Started
Canna Answers grew out of a simple problem: people needed help understanding Missouri’s medical marijuana program, and the information available to them was often confusing, scattered, or written in language that did not make sense to the average patient.
I started helping people work through applications, portal issues, rules, cultivation questions, and renewals. Most growth came through word of mouth. One patient told another, one question led to another, and the work gradually developed into Canna Answers.
As Missouri cannabis changed, Canna Answers changed with it. The website expanded into education, events, caregiver resources, hemp and policy information, and more recently a growing resource network for Missouri microbusiness licensees and the professionals helping them open.
My Approach
Clear Answers, Practical Help, No Runaround
Plain English
Regulations, applications, and government processes are explained in a way people can actually understand and use.
Independent
My goal is to help people understand their options and find the right resource rather than push one dispensary, brand, or provider.
Missouri Focused
My work centers on Missouri cannabis patients, caregivers, businesses, rules, organizations, events, and community resources.
Connection Driven
If I cannot personally solve the problem, I usually try to help identify someone who can.
Experience & Skills
What I Bring to the Table
My work sits at the intersection of cannabis education, administration, digital strategy, community building, research, and problem solving.
