Valentine's Law went into effect last week in MO, which makes fleeing from police a felony. Taking off from a traffic stop is now a class D felony (with a min. 1-year sentence). So this guy with the "CATCH ME" plate who fled from us Aug. 29 could be charged with this new crime.

It would be extremely easy for a child to consume large quantities of these products thinking it was their favorite candy.
Our Executive Order effectively bans the sale of foods containing psychoactive cannabis compounds products until approved sources can be regulated..
We have seen a 600% increase in the number of children 5 and under experiencing cannabis poisoning that resulted in ER visits or hospitalizations since 2018.
As a parent and grandparent, this is unacceptable and we will be taking enforcement action.
These intoxicating products are currently untested in humans, unregulated, and sold to the public without restriction. These products are marketed aggressively and assertively in eye-catching ways to attract public consumption, particularly that of young consumers.
