Keep Out Of Reach Of Kids & Pets

Potent medical marijuana edibles that contain the psychoactive chemical “THC” are becoming more legally available in Missouri and across much of the nation.

Medicate responsibly, and store your stash safely by:

● Keeping any marijuana (both edible or flower) stored in a child-safe, locked container;

● Using an opaque, clearly labeled container for safe-keeping;

● Always storing it out of reach, in a high shelf or cabinet, preferably with a child lock.

● Notifying any house guests or visitors to store their marijuana in the same way while in your house.
