The first marijuana farmers authorized by Missouri will have to commit a crime to begin growing, and regulators are likely to turn a blind eye. The state’s constitutional amendment doesn’t indicate how growers should get their first seeds. It is felony to acquire new marijuana plants or seeds already in Missouri, or to get them from one of the 32 other states with legal marijuana. (AP Photo/Richard Vogel File)

LOS ANGELES, CA – JULY 25: Marijuana plants grow at Perennial Holistic Wellness Center medical marijuana dispensary, which opened in 2006, on July 25, 2012 in Los Angeles, California. The Los Angeles City Council has unanimously voted to ban storefront medical marijuana dispensaries and to order them to close or face legal action. The council also voted to instruct staff to draw up a separate ordinance for consideration in about three months that might allow dispensaries that existed before a 2007 moratorium on new dispensaries to continue to operate. It is estimated that Los Angeles has about one thousand such facilities. The ban does not prevent patients or cooperatives of two or three people to grow their own in small amounts. Californians voted to legalize medical cannabis use in 1996, clashing with federal drug laws. The state Supreme Court is expected to consider ruling on whether cities can regulate and ban dispensaries. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)

Lawmakers are poised to vote on making New Jersey the 11th state to legalize recreational marijuana for adults. The Democrat-led Assembly and Senate have scheduled votes on a measure legalizing cannabis for Monday, March 25 though the outcome remains unclear. The votes come after more than a year of mostly back-room wrangling since Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy came into office. Murphy campaigned on legalization, striking a contrast with his predecessor Republican Chris Christie. (AP Photo/Julio Cortez)
FILE – This Monday, May 20, 2019 file photo shows mature marijuana plants flowering prior to harvest under artificial lights at Loving Kindness Farms in Gardena, Calif. California’s legal pot market is growing, just not as fast as once expected. The state pulled in $74 million in cannabis excise taxes between April and June, after the Newsom administration in May sharply scaled back projected tax dollars from the shaky legal market. The figure released Thursday, Aug. 22, 2019, marked an increase from the first quarter, when excise tax collections hit $61 million. (AP Photo/Richard Vogel)
