The department is responsible for implementing medical marijuana regulations after Missouri voters overwhelmingly approved it in November.

The trade association expects 1,000 to 1,500 attendees at the conference, which is intended to educate people and provide resources for successfully participating in the state's new medical marijuana industry.

Missouri lawmakers have filed at least 10 bills pertaining to marijuana in some way before the legislative session starts Wednesday.
