The three-day West Coast Cannabis Expo, which began Friday, features people selling water pipes, pot containers and grow lights, and other businesses connected to the marijuana industry. It also has an area where medical marijuana users can smoke.
Expo spokeswoman Cheryl Shuman said people in the industry are fearful after federal prosecutors announced Friday that they would crack down on medical pot dispensaries.
Some vendors had pulled out, although the expo was able to find others to take their place, Shuman said.
