Missouri company at center of cannabis recall used hemp instead of marijuana in products.

“The police can issue a summons, and one who violates the law could be fined up to $100,” Viets said regarding smoking marijuana in a public place. “Nobody’s going to jail. Nobody’s going to get a criminal record.”

The next big thing in the marijuana industry could be coming here soon.

Top city officials are working on a plan to open the doors to cannabis cafés, pot smoking lounges and other establishments where people can consume the plant in public.

We're talking to attorney Dan Viets of @MissouriNORML about about cannabis expungements. Missouri courts have processed 40k+ expungements, but many missed a June 8 deadline.

"There are many counties across the state that are clearly making good faith efforts," Viets said.
