In this June 27, 2017, photo, carrying $40,131.88 in cash in his shoulder bag, Jerred Kiloh, owner of the Higher Path medical marijuana dispensary, enters the office of finance tax and permit division at Los Angeles City Hall to pay his monthly tax in cash in Los Angeles. For Kiloh, the cash is a daily hassle. It needs to be counted repeatedly to safeguard against loss. State and local taxes must be set aside and stored, sometimes for a month or more. When vendors show up, they get paid in cash, too. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)
