Thinking about skipping your Missouri medical card renewal in 2025? Here’s what you’ll actually lose: lower 4% tax, three-year cultivation, caregiver access, doctor-approved high-dose limits (16–32 oz+), and reciprocity options in OK/AR—plus portal help.

Two days ago, a veteran and police officer — someone who’s spent their life serving others — stood just feet from my home and turned a gun on himself. He survived, but his injuries are devastating.
I had just seen him minutes earlier, playing with his puppy. If that bullet had gone another way, it could’ve entered my home. The kids nearby witnessed everything. We all did.
That morning changed me. It reminded me how fragile life is — and how often the people who seem strongest carry the heaviest pain.
Please, check on your friends. The ones who always say “I’m fine.” The ones who make everyone laugh. The ones who never ask for help.
