Fourth of July: How to Celebrate With Cannabis Across Missouri

A Fourth of July fireworks display exploding in the sky over a group of people. The crowd, spectators in silhouette, celebrate the Independence Day national holiday together, looking up and watching bursts of color. The pyrotechnic performance may represent New Year’s Eve, Chinese New Year, or other traditional festival celebration events.

Missouri knows how to give the Fourth of July a little spectacle. St. Louis gathers near the Gateway Arch for riverfront music and fireworks over the Mississippi, while Kansas City fills its parks and skyline-viewing spots with celebrations. With locations serving both cities, Sunrise Dispensary offers adults great cannabis picks for July 4th for responsible at-home plans after the celebration.

The Star Product This Fourth: Patriot Pop

Flwr Pwr’s Patriot Pop is a gummy built for the kind of summer days that fill up fast. Each piece delivers a 1:3 ratio plus 10mg of added caffeine, which gives it a noticeably more active feel than a standard edible. 

If your Fourth of July weekend includes a World Cup match, Patriot Pop fits that occasion just as naturally as it does a backyard grill session. It works for pregame gatherings, group watch parties, and the stretch of downtime between the afternoon match and the evening fireworks. These vegan gummies are packed in a portable tin.
